Biochem/physiol Actions

LETM1 (leucine zipper-EF-hand containing transmembrane protein 1) gene encodes a single-pass membrane protein localized in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It plays a pivotal role in maintaining the mitochondrial tubular shape as well as cristae organization. It also facilitates the normal mitochondrial morphology and cellular viability. Mutation in LETM1 gene leads to Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: MALKNKAAKGSATKDFSVFFQKIRETGERPSNEEIMRFSKLFEDELTLDN

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is a complex congenital syndrome caused by a monoallelic deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4. Seizures in WHS have been associated with deletion of LETM1 gene. LETM1 encodes for the human homologue of yeast Mdm38p

Leucine zipper-EF-hand containing transmembrane protein 1 (Letm1) is a mitochondrial protein that is associated with seizure attacks in Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. This study aimed to investigate the expression pattern of Letm1 in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and pilocarpine-induced rat

Journal of cell science, 121(Pt 15), 2588-2600 (2008-07-17)
LETM1 is located in the chromosomal region that is deleted in patients suffering Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome; it encodes a homolog of the yeast protein Mdm38 that is involved in mitochondrial morphology. Here, we describe the LETM1-mediated regulation of the mitochondrial volume
