    text
  • localized in the mitochondrial matrix in mammalian mitochondria and is the novel mitochondrial APP-degrading enzyme
  • basic FUNCTION
  • is deemed responsible for digesting the mitochondrial targeting sequence (MTS) of proteins imported across the inner mitochondrial membrane
  • genetic variation in PITRM1 may potentially contribute to mitochondrial dysfunctions
  • zinc metalloendopeptidase that has been implicated in Alzheimer disease and mitochondrial peptide degradation
  • is responsible for the degradation of presequences and other unstructured peptides including the amyloid-beta peptide, whose accumulation may have deleterious effects on mitochondrial function
  • mitochondrial matrix enzyme, which digests oligopeptides, including the mitochondrial targeting sequences that are cleaved from proteins imported across the inner mitochondrial membrane and the mitochondrial fraction of amyloid beta (APP)
