Gene Protein Transcript Promoter Expression GO/PPI PubMed Cross reference

Gene information for MTRF1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9617
Official gene symbolMTRF1
Full namemitochondrial translational release factor 1
Aliases,MGC47721,MRF1,MTTRF1,RF1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene was determined by in silico methods to be a mitochondrial protein with similarity to the peptide chain release factors (RFs) discovered in bacteria and yeast. The peptide chain release factors direct the termination of translation in response to the peptide chain termination codons. Initially thought to have a role in the termination of mitochondria protein synthesis, a recent publication found no mitochondrial translation release functionality. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been suggested by mRNA and EST data; however, their full-length natures are not clear. [provided by RefSeq]
