ATP5I: Proteins and Enzymes

Mitochondrial ATP synthase catalyzes ATP synthesis, utilizing an electrochemical gradient of protons across the innermembrane during oxidative phosphorylation. It is composed of two linked multi-subunit complexes: the soluble catalyticcore, F1, and the membrane-spanning component, F0, which comprises the proton channel. The F1 complex consists of 5different subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon) assembled in a ratio of 3 alpha, 3 beta, and a singlerepresentative of the other 3. The F0 seems to have nine subunits (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, F6 and 8). This gene encodesthe e subunit of the F0 complex. (provided by RefSeq)
