Predicted to enable GTPase activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial translation and ribosome disassembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within translation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in brain; dorsal root ganglion; liver lobe; spinal cord; and thymus primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 39. Orthologous to human GFM2 (GTP dependent ribosome recycling factor mitochondrial 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
