Predicted to enable channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to reactive oxygen species; glomerular basement membrane development; and regulation of mitochondrial DNA metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within reactive oxygen species metabolic process and sensory perception of sound. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane and peroxisome. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2EE and mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 6. Orthologous to human MPV17 (mitochondrial inner membrane protein MPV17). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
