PET100

Description

The PET100 gene provides instructions for making a protein that plays a crucial role in mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells, responsible for generating energy through cellular respiration. The PET100 protein is involved in the assembly and maintenance of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, a series of protein complexes that facilitate the transfer of electrons during energy production. Mutations in the PET100 gene can disrupt this critical process, leading to a variety of health problems.
