Mtfmt Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in conversion of methionyl-tRNA to N-formyl-methionyl-tRNA. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 15 and nuclear type mitochondrial complex I deficiency 27. Orthologous to human MTFMT (mitochondrial methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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