| Function |
ATP-dependent specificity component of the Clp protease complex. Hydrolyzes ATP. Targets specific substrates for degradation by the Clp complex. Can perform chaperone functions in the absence of CLPP. Enhances the DNA-binding activity of TFAM and is required for maintaining a normal mitochondrial nucleoid structure. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11923310, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22710082, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22841477}.

| Subcellular Location |
Mitochondrion. Mitochondrion matrix, mitochondrion nucleoid.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Higher expression in skeletal muscle and heart and to a lesser extent in liver, brain, placenta, lung, kidney and pancreas. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11003706}.
