ATP5PD - ATP synthase peripheral stalk subunit d Gene

Mitochondrial ATP Synthase catalyzes ATP synthesis, utilizing an electrochemical gradient of protons across the inner membrane during Oxidative Phosphorylation. It is composed of two linked multi-subunit complexes: the soluble catalytic core, F1, and the membrane-spanning component, Fo, which comprises the proton channel. The F1 complex consists of 5 different subunits (Alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon) assembled in a ratio of 3 Alpha, 3 beta, and a single representative of the other 3. The Fo seems to have nine subunits (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, F6 and 8). This gene encodes the d subunit of the Fo complex. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. In addition, three pseudogenes are located on chromosomes 9, 12 and 15.
