CHCHD10
CHCHD10, whose full official name is coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 10, is a gene found in Humans encoding a mitochondrial protein that is enriched at cristae junctions in the intermembrane space. It may play a role in cristae morphology maintenance or oxidative phosphorylation. CHCHD10-related disorders include mitochondrial myopathy,[1] amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS),[2] frontotemporal dementia (FTD),[2] late-onset spinal motor neuronopathy (SMAJ), and cerebellar ataxia. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
