Abstract excerpt
Because mitochondrial ATPase 6 plays an important role in ATP synthesis, mutations affecting ATPase 6 can undoubtedly cause human diseases. In contrast, the ATPase 6 gene is known to be a fast-evolving gene and has generated enough polymorphisms to allow identity investigation for forensic casework. To investigate these seemingly opposite views, we analyzed amino acid sequences of ATPase 6 in at least 1,266...
