NCIt definition : Presequence protease, mitochondrial (1037 aa, 117 kDa) is encoded by the human PITRM1
gene. This protein is involved in the catabolism of mitochondrial peptides.;
NCIt note : Presequence protease, mitochondrial can degrade amyloid beta A4 (APP) protein when
it accumulates in mitochondria, which suggests that defects in the activity of this
enzyme may be associated with Alzheimer disease. (UniProt);
