Official gene symbol | | TOP1MT |
Full name | | topoisomerase (DNA) I, mitochondrial |
Aliases | | ,-, |
Gene summary | | This gene encodes a mitochondrial DNA topoisomerase, an enzyme that controls and alters the topologic states of DNA during transcription. This enzyme catalyzes the transient breaking and rejoining of DNA which allows the strands to pass through one another and relieves the stress introduced by a circular mitochondrial genome during replication and transcription.
