ATP5G1 also known as ATP5GA, ATP5MC1 is a subunit of mitochondrial ATP synthase. ATP5G1 plays a crucial role in mitochondrial function by facilitating the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of the cell. ATP5G1 is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where ATP5G1 forms part of the ATP synthase complex, which is essential for oxidative phosphorylation—a process that generates ATP through the electron transport chain. Proper functioning of ATP5G1 is vital for cellular energy production, and any dysfunction can lead to a range of metabolic disorders and contribute to the pathogenesis of various diseases, including neurodegenerative conditions and cancer.
