Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable cardiolipin binding activity and phosphatidic acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cristae formation; mitochondrial electron transport, ubiquinol to cytochrome c; and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within ATP biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol; mitochondrial inner membrane; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III. Is expressed in cerebral cortex vascular element. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial complex III deficiency nuclear type 9. Orthologous to human UQCC3 (ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex assembly factor 3).
