ATPAF1

Chr 1

ATP synthase mitochondrial F1 complex assembly factor 1

Also known as: ATP11, ATP11p

The protein is an assembly factor for the F1 component of mitochondrial ATP synthase, binding specifically to the F1 beta subunit to prevent nonproductive homooligomer formation during enzyme assembly. Mutations cause autosomal recessive mitochondrial complex V deficiency, resulting in early-onset neurological dysfunction affecting the brain and other energy-demanding tissues. The gene shows tolerance to loss-of-function variants (low pLI score), consistent with its recessive inheritance pattern.
