Relevance to Autism
MTX2 showed consistently reduced expression in three brain regions (anterior cingulate gyrus, motor cortex, and thalamus) following gene expression analysis of postmortem brain tissue of autism patients (Anitha et al., 2012).
Molecular Function
Involved in transport of proteins into the mitochondrion.
