背景
The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the mitochondrial inner membrane, where it
can bind to a highly-related protein, ATAD3A. ATAD3A appears to interact with matrix
nucleoid complexes, and the encoded protein negatively regulates that interaction. This
gene is expressed almost exclusively in pluripotent embryonic stem cells and some cancer
cells. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene
