Presenilins-associated rhomboid-like protein, mitochondrial

Definition:

Required for the control of apoptosis during postnatal growth. Essential for proteolytic processing of an antiapoptotic form of OPA1 which prevents the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c in response to intrinsic apoptotic signals (By similarity). Required for the maturation of PINK1 into its 52kDa mature form after its cleavage by mitochondrial-processing peptidase (MPP). Promotes changes in mitochondria morphology regulated by phosphorylation of P-beta domain. Required for processing of CLPB into a form with higher protein disaggregase activity by removing an autoinhibitory N-terminal peptide.
