Descripción
AIFM1 is a key mitochondrial protein that mediates caspase-independent apoptosis while also playing essential roles in mitochondrial energy metabolism. Located in the mitochondrial intermembrane space, AIFM1 translocates to the nucleus in response to apoptotic stimuli, where it induces chromatin condensation and large-scale DNA fragmentation. This translocation is triggered by mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization during cellular stress. Beyond its apoptotic function, AIFM1 is crucial for maintaining mitochondrial respiratory chain integrity and supporting cellular energy homeostasis. Mutations in the AIFM1 gene have been implicated in neurodegenerative disorders and mitochondrial encephalomyopathies, highlighting its dual role in apoptosis and bioenergetics. Its regulation and activity are critical for cellular fate, as dysregulation can lead to either excessive apoptosis, contributing to degenerative diseases, or impaired apoptosis, facilitating cancer progression.

This gene encodes a flavoprotein essential for nuclear disassembly in apoptotic cells, and it is found in the mitochondrial intermembrane space in healthy cells. Induction of apoptosis results in the translocation of this protein to the nucleus where it affects chromosome condensation and fragmentation. In addition, this gene product induces mitochondria to release the apoptogenic proteins cytochrome c and caspase-9. Mutations in this gene cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 6 (COXPD6), a severe mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, as well as Cowchock syndrome, also known as X-linked recessive Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease-4 (CMTX-4), a disorder resulting in neuropathy, and axonal and motor-sensory defects with deafness and mental retardation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 10.
