Clpx - caseinolytic mitochondrial matrix peptidase chaperone subunit

Enables ATP binding activity and ATP hydrolysis activity. Predicted to be involved in ATP metabolic process and proteolysis involved in cellular protein catabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and immune system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in erythropoietic protoporphyria. Orthologous to human CLPX (caseinolytic mitochondrial matrix peptidase chaperone subunit X).
