Summary: Enables mitochondrial promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in mitochondrial transcription. Acts upstream of or within mitochondrial respiratory chain complex assembly. Located in mitochondrial nucleoid. Is active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Used to study Kearns-Sayre syndrome and Parkinson's disease.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
