tufm-2 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the mitochondrial TU elongation Factor (EF-Tu); loss of tufm-2 activity activates the mitochondrial unfolded protein response.
Predicted to enable translation elongation factor activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial translational elongation. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
