Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable proton transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to contribute to proton-transporting ATP synthase activity, rotational mechanism. Predicted to be involved in proton motive force-driven mitochondrial ATP synthesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within ATP biosynthetic process and proton transmembrane transport. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in heart; liver; and metanephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple sclerosis and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human MT-ATP8 (mitochondrially encoded ATP synthase membrane subunit 8).
