This is a group of mainly hypothetical eukaryotic proteins. Putative features found in LETM1, such as a transmembrane domain and a CK2 and PKC phosphorylation site,[1] are relatively conserved throughout the family. Deletion of LETM1 is thought to be involved in the development of Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome in humans.[1] A member of this family, SWISSPROT, is known to be expressed in the mitochondria of Drosophila melanogaster,[2] suggesting that this may be a group of mitochondrial proteins.
Examples
Human gene encoding members of this family include:
gollark: Technically speaking, it already is.
gollark: Admittedly Milo Remote already has this and it uses your inventory, but still.
gollark: It can interface with its control server via SPUDNET and ender chests, freeing you from the tyranny of actually going to your base.
gollark: Observe, Monopsony Remote™.
gollark: TPS is *20*, marginally.
