MIEF1 Gene Summary [Human]
Enables ADP binding activity; GDP binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of mitochondrial fission; positive regulation of mitochondrial translation; and positive regulation of protein targeting to membrane. Located in mitochondrial matrix and mitochondrial outer membrane. Colocalizes with mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human MIEF1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
