Function | Plays an important role in maintenance of mitochondrial morphology and in mediating either calcium or potassium/proton antiport (PubMed:18628306, PubMed:19797662, PubMed:24898248, PubMed:24344246, PubMed:29123128, PubMed:32139798, PubMed:36321428, PubMed:36055214). Mediates proton-dependent calcium efflux from mitochondrion (PubMed:19797662, PubMed:24344246, PubMed:29123128). Functions also as an electroneutral mitochondrial proton/potassium exchanger (PubMed:24898248, PubMed:36055214, PubMed:36321428). Crucial for the maintenance of mitochondrial tubular networks and for the assembly of the supercomplexes of the respiratory chain (PubMed:18628306, PubMed:36055214). Required for the maintenance of the tubular shape and cristae organization (PubMed:18628306, PubMed:32139798). |
Cellular Location | Mitochondrion inner membrane; Single-pass membrane protein |

Background
This gene encodes a protein that is localized to the innermitochondrial membrane. The protein functions to maintain themitochondrial tubular shapes and is required for normalmitochondrial morphology and cellular viability. Mutations in thisgene cause Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, a complex malformationsyndrome caused by the deletion of parts of the distal short arm ofchromosome 4. Related pseudogenes have been identified onchromosomes 8, 15 and 19.
