Protein function (UniProt)

FAST kinase domain-containing protein 2, mitochondrial

Plays an important role in assembly of the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit (PubMed:25683715). As a component of a functional protein-RNA module, consisting of RCC1L, NGRN, RPUSD3, RPUSD4, TRUB2, FASTKD2 and 16S mitochondrial ribosomal RNA (16S mt-rRNA), controls 16S mt-rRNA abundance and is required for intra-mitochondrial translation (PubMed:25683715, PubMed:26370583, PubMed:27667664). May play a role in mitochondrial apoptosis
