About AIFM1

Summary

Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; FAD binding activity; and NAD(P)H oxidase H2O2-forming activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipid; cellular response to nitric oxide; and cellular response to oxygen-glucose deprivation. Located in cytosol; mitochondrion; and nucleus. Biomarker of middle cerebral artery infarction; retinal detachment; retinitis pigmentosa; and transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease X-linked recessive 4; X-linked deafness 5; and combined Oxidative Phosphorylation deficiency 6. Orthologous to several human genes including TXNDC12 (thioredoxin domain containing 12). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
