Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** PMPCA, also known as MPPA_HUMAN, is a mitochondrial protein that plays a pivotal role in the processing and maturation of mitochondrial proteins. It is a subunit of the mitochondrial processing peptidase complex, which is responsible for removing the signal peptide from precursor proteins, allowing them to integrate into the mitochondrial inner membrane. PMPCA is highly expressed in various cell types, including neural progenitor cells, placental villous trophoblasts, and proerythroblasts, highlighting its importance in cellular development and function. **Pathways and Functions:** The PMPCA gene is involved in several critical pathways, including: 1. **Mitochondrial calcium ion transport**: PMPCA regulates the uptake and release of calcium ions within the mitochondria, which is essential for maintaining mitochondrial function and energy production. 2. **Mitochondrial protein degradation**: PMPCA is involved in the degradation of mitochondrial proteins, which is crucial for maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and preventing protein accumulation. 3. **Protein processing involved in protein targeting to mitochondrion**: PMPCA facilitates the processing and maturation of precursor proteins that are targeted to the mitochondria, ensuring the proper integration of these proteins into the mitochondrial inner membrane. 4. **Metalloendopeptidase activity**: PMPCA exhibits metalloendopeptidase activity, which is essential for the cleavage of peptide bonds in mitochondrial proteins. **Clinical Significance:** Dysregulation of PMPCA has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Mitochondrial disorders**: Mutations in the PMPCA gene have been associated with mitochondrial disorders, such as mitochondrial myopathies and encephalopathy. 2. **Cancer**: PMPCA overexpression has been observed in various types of cancer, including leukemia and lymphoma, suggesting its potential role in tumorigenesis. 3. **Neurological disorders**: PMPCA dysregulation has been implicated in neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, highlighting its potential role in neurodegenerative diseases. In conclusion, PMPCA is a critical component of the mitochondrial processing peptidase complex, essential for the proper functioning and maturation of mitochondrial proteins. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the need for further research into the molecular mechanisms underlying PMPCA function and its clinical significance.
