Description
Description
Mitochondrial translation factors function to coordinate and catalyze the synthesis of polypeptides from mRNA templates by ribosomes in mitochondria. (Adapted from FBrf0233552).
Notes on Group

The mitochondrial translation system of eukaryotic cells is much simpler than its cytoplasmic counter-part, comprising a total of 9 canonical translation factors that are homologous to bacterial factors (FBrf0233552).
