CD Definition:
Mitochondrial 18 KDa protein (MTP18); This family of proteins are mitochondrial 18KDa proteins that are often misannotated as carbonic anhydrases. It was shown that knockdown of MTP18 protein results in a cytochrome c release from mitochondria and consequently leads to apoptosis. Overexpression studies suggest that MTP18 is required for mitochondrial fission.
