Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; tRNA binding activity; and tRNA methyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA methylation; mitochondrial tRNA processing; and positive regulation of mitochondrial translation. Predicted to act upstream of or within methylation and tRNA processing. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; metanephros; phalanx; skin; and tooth. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 30. Orthologous to human TRMT10C (tRNA methyltransferase 10C, mitochondrial RNase P subunit).
