| Function |
Involved in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) metabolism. Could function as an adenine nucleotide-dependent DNA helicase. Function inferred to be critical for lifetime maintenance of mtDNA integrity. In vitro, forms in combination with POLG, a processive replication machinery, which can use double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) as template to synthesize single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) molecules. May be a key regulator of mtDNA copy number in mammals. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15167897}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Mitochondrion matrix, mitochondrion nucleoid {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11431692}. Note=Colocalizes with mtDNA in mitochondrial nucleoids, a nucleoproteins complex consisting of a number of copies of proteins associated with mtDNA, probably involved in mtDNA maintenance and expression.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
High relative levels in skeletal muscle, testis and pancreas. Lower levels of expression in the heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, spleen, thymus, prostate, ovary, small intestine, colon and leukocytes. Expression is coregulated with MRPL43. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11431692, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15509589}.
