QRI5

Mitochondrial mRNA-processing protein COX24

111 amino acids

Component of the mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome), a dedicated translation machinery responsible for the synthesis of mitochondrial genome-encoded proteins, including at least some of the essential transmembrane subunits of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The mitoribosomes are attached to the mitochondrial inner membrane and translation products are cotranslationally integrated into the membrane (PubMed:25609543, PubMed:28154081). mS38 is also involved in the splicing of the COX1 mRNA (PubMed:16339141).

Belongs to the mitochondrion-specific ribosomal protein mS38 family.
