Der MT-TH gene provides instructions for making a particular type of RNA, a molecule that is a chemical cousin of DNA. This type of RNA, called transfer RNA (tRNA), helps assemble protein building blocks known as amino acids into full-length, functioning proteins. The MT-TH gene provides instructions for a specific form of tRNA that is designated as tRNAHis. During protein assembly, this molecule attaches to a particular amino acid, histidine (His), and inserts it into the appropriate locations in the growing protein.

Der MT-TH gene provides instructions for making a particular type of RNA, a molecule that is a chemical cousin of DNA. This type of RNA, called transfer RNA (tRNA), helps assemble protein building blocks known as amino acids into full-length, functioning proteins. The MT-TH gene provides instructions for a specific form of tRNA that is designated as tRNAHis. During protein assembly, this molecule attaches to a particular amino acid, histidine (His), and inserts it into the appropriate locations in the growing protein.
The tRNAHis molecule is present in cellular structures called mitochondria. These structures convert energy from food into a form that cells can use. Through a process called oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondria use oxygen, simple sugars, and fatty acids to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy source. The tRNAHis molecule is involved in the assembly of proteins that carry out oxidative phosphorylation.
