MTO1
Description
The MTO1 (mitochondrial tRNA translation optimization 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 6.
The MTO1 gene encodes the MTO1 protein, which is a mitochondrial protein found in humans.
The MTO1 protein plays a crucial role in modifying the wobble uridine base within mitochondrial tRNAs. Specifically, it introduces a 5-carboxymethylaminomethyl modification, denoted as mnm(5)s(2)U34.
MTO1 is also known as CGI-02, COXPD10.
