CLUH
Description
The CLUH (clustered mitochondria homolog) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 17.
CLU (Clustered mitochondria (cluA/CLU1) homolog) is a human protein encoded by the CLUH gene.
CLU protein is an mRNA-binding protein involved in the proper cytoplasmic distribution of mitochondria. It specifically binds mRNAs of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins in the cytoplasm, and regulates the transport or translation of these transcripts close to mitochondria. This function plays a role in mitochondrial biogenesis. This information is based on the HAMAP-Rule:MF_03013 and PubMed:25349259.
CLUH is also known as CLU1.
