MTCH1 mitochondrial carrier 1

Gene ID: 23787, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PSAP; PIG60; CGI-64; SLC25A49

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the mitochondrial carrier family. The encoded protein is localized to the mitochondrion inner membrane and induces apoptosis independent of the proapoptotic proteins Bax and Bak. Pseudogenes on chromosomes 6 and 11 have been identified for this gene. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012]
