Function
GTP hydrolase that promotes the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site of ribosomes during protein biosynthesis. Participates in mitochondrial translation. Also plays a role in the regulation of autophagy and innate immunity.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Mitochondrion matrix
Disease Association: Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 4 (COXPD4) : A mitochondrial disease resulting in neonatal lactic acidosis, rapidly progressive encephalopathy, severely decreased mitochondrial protein synthesis, and combined deficiency of mtDNA-related mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
Pathway: Protein biosynthesis; polypeptide chain elongation
