VAR1
sce:VAR1

Genes: 5

Protein description
VAR1 Mitochondrial large ribosome protein subunit


SGD Description
Mitochondrial ribosomal protein of the small subunit; mitochondrially-encoded; polymorphic in different strains due to variation in number of AAT (asparagine) codons; translated near the mitochondrial inner membrane; may have a role in loss of mitochondrial DNA under stress conditions
