Funded Activity Summary

We have previously found that PTCD1 can regulate mitochondrial gene expression and metabolism in cells (Mercer et al., 2011 and Lopez Sanchez et al., 2011). There is still much to learn about the mitochondria and their DNA. Charactering PTCD1, a protein that has previously seen little research, will enable us to elucidate the role of this protein in mitochondria and energy metabolism in an effort to increase understanding of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
