Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein that is characterized by a poly-proline rich region. A chicken homolog of this protein promotes mitochondrial fission and the mouse homolog protects cells from oxidative stress. A related pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009].
UniProt Summary: May play a role in mitochondrial aerobic respiration. May also regulate mitochondrial organization and fission (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
