Mitochondrial ATP8 gene

The mitochondrial gene MT-ATP8 encodes an enzyme responsible for electron transport on the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is subunit 8 of the respiratory complex IV. The gene is encoded by nucleotides 8366-8572. Diseases caused by mutations include cerebal pseudoatrophy, and cardiomyopathy. The ensemble of all mitochondrial genes is tested if a mitochondrial disorder has to be diagnosed.
