MTX1
Description
The MTX1 (metaxin 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
Metaxin 1, also known as MTX1, is a protein encoded by the MTX1 gene in humans. It is located on the outer membrane of mitochondria and is a component of the mitochondrial protein translocation apparatus.
MTX1 plays a crucial role in transporting proteins into the mitochondrion, an essential organelle for cellular energy production. Its function is critical for proper embryonic development.
MTX1 is also known as MTX, MTXN.
