CHCHD10

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain-containing protein 10, mitochondrial, also known as Protein N27C7-4, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CHCHD10 gene.[1][2][3]

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]
