We will address this objective by regulating the expression of mitochondrial ribosomal protein MRPS12. This protein is essential to the function of mitochondrial ribosomes, which produce key components of the electron transport chain. Without these components, the electron transport chain is disabled and aerobic respiration is not possible.
