Gene information for LONP1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9361
Official gene symbolLONP1
Full namelon peptidase 1, mitochondrial
Aliases,LON,LONP,LonHS,MGC1498,PIM1,PRSS15,hLON,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a mitochondrial matrix protein in the Lon family of ATP-dependent proteases. A similar E. coli protein regulates gene expression by targeting specific regulatory proteins for degradation. This protein binds a specific sequence in the light and heavy chain promoters of the mitochondrial genome which are involved in regulation of DNA replication and transcription. [provided by RefSeq]
