CXADRP3
Description
The CXADRP3 (CXADR pseudogene 3) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 18.
CXADRP3 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in the assembly and maintenance of mitochondrial complex I, a crucial component of the electron transport chain. This protein acts as a scaffold, interacting with other proteins involved in complex I assembly, ensuring its proper formation and function. Mutations in this gene can lead to mitochondrial disorders.
CXADRP3 plays a crucial role in the assembly and maintenance of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, a vital component of cellular energy production. Specifically, it acts as a scaffold protein, interacting with various other proteins involved in complex I assembly, ensuring the proper formation and function of this critical enzyme complex. This role is essential for maintaining cellular respiration and ATP synthesis, the primary energy source for cellular activities.
CXADRP3 is also known as -.
