|
| Function |
One of the essential components for the initiation of protein synthesis. Protects formylmethionyl-tRNA from spontaneous hydrolysis and promotes its binding to the 30S ribosomal subunits. Also involved in the hydrolysis of GTP during the formation of the 70S ribosomal complex.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Mitochondrion.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in all tissues examined. Highest level in skeletal muscle.
