Primary Identifier | MGI:102482 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | MT | NCBI Gene Number | 17735 |
Mgi Type | tRNA gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable triplet codon-amino acid adaptor activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within translational elongation. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Used to study MELAS syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human MT-TL1 (mitochondrially encoded tRNA-Leu (UUA/G) 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice carrying a high percentage of mitochondria carrying a point mutation display mitochondrial dysfunction and age-related metabolic phenotypes. [provided by MGI curators] |
