Lesson plan
FIRRM
FIGNL1-interacting regulator of recombination and mitosis, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the gene FIRRM (previously C1orf112), and is located at position 1q24.2. FIRRM encodes for seventeen variants of mRNA, fifteen of which are functional proteins. FIRRM has a determined precursor molecular weight of 96.6 kDa and an isoelectric point of 5.62. FIRRM has been experimentally determined to localize to the mitochondria, although it does not contain a mitochondrial targeting sequence.
