Summary: Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Involved in mitochondrial protein processing. Part of m-AAA complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; gut section; mesoderm; and visceral mesoderm derivative. Used to study neurodegenerative disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in optic atrophy 12; spastic ataxia; spastic ataxia 5; and spinocerebellar ataxia type 28. Orthologous to human AFG3L2 (AFG3 like matrix AAA peptidase subunit 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
