Gene: BCS1L

Alternate names for this Gene: BCS|BCS1|BJS|FLNMS|GRACILE|Hs.6719|MC3DN1|PTD|h-BCS|h-BCS1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a homolog of the S. cerevisiae bcs1 protein which is involved in the assembly of complex III of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The encoded protein does not contain a mitochondrial targeting sequence but experimental studies confirm that it is imported into mitochondria. Mutations in this gene are associated with mitochondrial complex III deficiency and the GRACILE syndrome. Several alternatively spliced transcripts encoding two different isoforms have been described.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q35

Description of this Gene: BCS1 homolog, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex chaperone

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: ZNF142

Alternate names for this Gene: HA4654|NEDISHM|pHZ-49

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Kruppel family of C2H2-type zinc finger proteins. It contains 31 C2H2-type zinc fingers and may be involved in transcriptional regulation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
