Gene: SERAC1
Alternate names for this Gene: -
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a phosphatidylglycerol remodeling protein found at the interface of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticula, where it mediates phospholipid exchange. The encoded protein plays a major role in mitochondrial function and intracellular cholesterol trafficking. Defects in this gene are a cause of 3-methylglutaconic aciduria with deafness, encephalopathy, and Leigh-like syndrome (MEGDEL). Two transcript variants, one protein-coding and the other non-protein coding, have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 6
Location in Chromosome : 6q25.3
Description of this Gene: serine active site containing 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
