Pitrm1 - pitrilysin metallepetidase 1

Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein processing. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and skeletal musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia. Orthologous to human PITRM1 (pitrilysin metallopeptidase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
