UniProt functional annotation for Q9H9J2

UniProt code: Q9H9J2.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Component of the 39S subunit of mitochondrial ribosome. May have a function in the assembly/stability of nascent mitochondrial polypeptides exiting the ribosome. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23315540}.
 
Subunit: Component of the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit (mt- LSU) (PubMed:28892042, PubMed:25838379, PubMed:25278503). Mature mammalian 55S mitochondrial ribosomes consist of a small (28S) and a large (39S) subunit. The 28S small subunit contains a 12S ribosomal RNA (12S mt-rRNA) and 30 different proteins. The 39S large subunit contains a 16S rRNA (16S mt-rRNA), a copy of mitochondrial valine transfer RNA (mt-tRNA(Val)), which plays an integral structural role, and 52 different proteins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25278503, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25838379, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28892042}.
Subcellular location: Mitochondrion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25278503, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25838379, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28892042}.
Disease: Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 16 (COXPD16) [MIM:615395]: An autosomal recessive, mitochondrial disorder characterized by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, liver steatosis, and decreased levels of mitochondrial complexes I and IV in heart and skeletal muscle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23315540}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity: Belongs to the ribonuclease III family. Mitochondrion- specific ribosomal protein mL44 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
