ROMO1 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
ROMO1 
Aliases
bA353C18.2; C20orf52; MTGMP 
Common name
reactive oxygen species modulator 1 
Entrez Id
140823
Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a mitochondrial membrane protein that is responsible for increasing the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells. The protein also has antimicrobial activity against a variety of bacteria by inducing bacterial membrane breakage. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014].
