About Letm1

Summary

Enables calcium:proton antiporter activity. Involved in cellular calcium ion homeostasis and protein complex oligomerization. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in gonad and seminiferous cord. Orthologous to human LETM1 (leucine zipper and EF-hand containing transmembrane protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
