Pitrm1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein processing. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and skeletal musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 30. Orthologous to human PITRM1 (pitrilysin metallopeptidase 1).

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 mouse Pitrm1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
