CHCHD10
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The CHCHD10 gene is located on the q arm of chromosome 22 at position 11.23 and it spans 2,138 base pairs.[1] The CHCHD10 gene produces a 14.9 kDa protein composed of 149 amino acids.[4][5] It is enriched at cristae junctions in the intermembrane space of the mitochondria.[1] The structure of the protein contains a nonstructured N-terminal region, a hydrophobic helix and a C-terminal CHCH domain which contains a Cx(9)C motif and two additional cysteines. A total of four cysteines are predicted to form two disulfide bonds.[6]
Function
This gene encodes for a mitochondrial protein that is enriched at cristae junctions in the intermembrane space. It may play a role in cristae morphology maintenance or oxidative phosphorylation.[1]
