Predicted to enable translation elongation factor activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial translational elongation and regulation of mitochondrial translation. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in mitochondrial matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 3. Orthologous to human TSFM (Ts translation elongation factor, mitochondrial). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
