LETM1 - leucine zipper and EF-hand containing transmembrane protein 1 Gene

Also Known as Mdm38; CONDMIM; SLC55A1

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 3954

About LETM1

Cytogenetic location: 4p16.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 4:1,811,479-1,856,156 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 205 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in colon (RPKM 12.1), kidney (RPKM 9.6) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that is localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane. The protein functions to maintain the mitochondrial tubular shapes and is required for normal mitochondrial morphology and cellular viability. Mutations in this gene cause Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, a complex malformation syndrome caused by the deletion of parts of the distal short arm of chromosome 4. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 8, 15 and 19. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
