Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes a hexameric DNA helicase which unwinds short stretches of double-stranded DNA in the 5` to 3` direction and, along with mitochondrial single-stranded DNA binding protein and mtDNA polymerase gamma, is thought to play a key role in mtDNA
