Full name: pentatricopeptide repeat domain 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Summary: This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein that binds leucine tRNAs and other mitochondrial RNAs and plays a role in the regulation of translation. Increased expression of this gene results in decreased mitochondrial leucine tRNA levels. Naturally occurring read-through transcription exists between upstream ATP5J2 (ATP synthase, H+ transporting, mitochondrial Fo complex, subunit F2) and this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

Expression: Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 5.8), bone marrow (RPKM 4.7) and 25 other tissues

Gene size: 22060bp

Exon count: 8
