| basic FUNCTION
| may be a soluble matrix protein that does not associate with the mitochondrial ribosome, so it could perhaps play a role in processing peptidyl-tRNAs that have been prematurely released during polypeptide elongation  |
|
might play a role in recycling abortive peptidyl-tRNA species, released from the ribosome during the elongation phase of translation |
|
participates in the process of mitochondrial translation and has been shown to be associated with a spectrum of phenotypes, including early onset optic atrophy, progressive encephalomyopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and spastic paraparesis |
