General description of the gene and the encoded protein(s) using information from HGNC and Ensembl, as well as predictions made by the Human Protein Atlas project.
Gene namei
Official gene symbol, which is typically a short form of the gene name, according to HGNC.
Assigned HPA protein class(es) for the encoded protein(s).
Disease related genes Enzymes Human disease related genes Potential drug targets
Predicted locationi
All transcripts of all genes have been analyzed regarding the location(s) of corresponding protein based on prediction methods for signal peptides and transmembrane regions.
Genes with at least one transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, according to prediction methods or to UniProt location data, have been further annotated and classified with the aim to determine if the corresponding protein(s) are secreted or actually retained in intracellular locations or membrane-attached.
Remaining genes, with no transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, will be assigned the prediction-based location(s).
The annotated location overrules the predicted location, so that a gene encoding a predicted secreted protein that has been annotated as intracellular will have intracellular as the final location.
Gene information from Ensembl and Entrez, as well as links to available gene identifiers are displayed here. Information was retrieved from Ensembl if not indicated otherwise.

ATP-dependent metalloprotease that catalyzes the degradation of folded and unfolded proteins with a suitable degron sequence in the mitochondrial intermembrane region 1,2,3,4,5,6. Plays an important role in regulating mitochondrial morphology and function by cleaving OPA1 at position S2, giving rise to a form of OPA1 that promotes maintenance of normal mitochondrial structure and mitochondrial protein metabolism 7,8,9,10. Ensures cell proliferation, maintains normal cristae morphology and complex I respiration activity, promotes antiapoptotic activity and protects mitochondria from the accumulation of oxidatively damaged membrane proteins 11. Required to control the accumulation of nonassembled respiratory chain subunits (NDUFB6, OX4 and ND1) 12. Involved in the mitochondrial adaptation in response to various signals, such as stress or developmental cues, by mediating degradation of mitochondrial proteins to rewire the mitochondrial proteome 13. Catalyzes degradation of mitochondrial proteins, such as translocases, lipid transfer proteins and metabolic enzymes in response to nutrient starvation in order to limit mitochondrial biogenesis: mechanistically, YME1L is activated by decreased phosphatidylethanolamine levels caused by LPIN1 activity in response to mTORC1 inhibition 14. Acts as a regulator of adult neural stem cell self-renewal by promoting mitochondrial proteome rewiring, preserving neural stem and progenitor cells self-renewal (By similarity). Required for normal, constitutive degradation of PRELID1 15. Catalyzes the degradation of OMA1 in response to membrane depolarization 16. Mediates degradation of TIMM17A downstream of the integrated stress response (ISR) 17. Catalyzes degradation of MICU1 when MICU1 is not assembled via an interchain disulfide 18....show less
Molecular function (UniProt)i
Keywords assigned by UniProt to proteins due to their particular molecular function.
Hydrolase, Metalloprotease, Protease
Ligand (UniProt)i
Keywords assigned by UniProt to proteins because they bind, are associated with, or whose activity is dependent of some molecule.
The protein encoded by this gene is the human ortholog of yeast mitochondrial AAA metalloprotease, Yme1p. It is localized in the mitochondria and can functionally complement a yme1 disruptant yeast strain. It is proposed that this gene plays a role in mitochondrial protein metabolism and could be involved in mitochondrial pathologies. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]...show less
PROTEIN INFORMATIONi
The protein information section displays alternative protein-coding transcripts (splice variants) encoded by this gene according to the Ensembl database.
The Splice variant identifier links to the Ensembl website protein summary for the selected splice variant. The data in the Swissprot and TrEMBL columns links to corresponding pages in the UniProt database.
