TSFM Ts translation elongation factor, mitochondrial

Gene ID: 10102, updated on 16-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: EFTS; EFTSMT

Summary

This gene encodes a mitochondrial translation elongation factor. The encoded protein is an enzyme that catalyzes the exchange of guanine nucleotides on the translation elongation factor Tu during the elongation step of mitchondrial protein translation. Mutations in this gene are associated with combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency-3 syndrome. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
