Summary
Predicted to enable rRNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including mitochondrial transcription; protein targeting to mitochondrion; and ribosome assembly. Located in mitochondrion. Orthologous to human MTERF4 (mitochondrial transcription termination factor 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Expression
Ubiquitous expression in CNS E11.5 (RPKM 7.6), CNS E14 (RPKM 6.3) and 28 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
