Lrpprc Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables RNA binding activity and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of mitochondrial RNA catabolic process and regulation of mitochondrial translation. Located in mitochondrion and nucleus. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; heart; liver; and skeletal muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in French Canadian Leigh disease and Leigh disease. Orthologous to human LRPPRC (leucine rich pentatricopeptide repeat containing).

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