mt-Atp6 - ATP synthase 6, mitochondrial Gene

Predicted to contribute to proton-transporting ATP Synthase activity, rotational mechanism. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial ATP synthesis coupled proton transport. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; heart; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy; NARP syndrome; Parkinson's disease; multiple sclerosis; and systemic lupus erythematosus. Orthologous to human MT-ATP6 (mitochondrially encoded ATP Synthase membrane subunit 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
