Full Name

BCS1 homolog, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex chaperone

Location

Chromosome 2 (2q35)

Function

This gene codes for a chaperone protein needed for the assembly of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III. It also plays a role in maintaining mitochondrial tubular networks and formation of the LETM1 complex (Tamai et al. 2008).
