GO term: mitochondrial translation Help



Ontology: Biological Process (GO:0032543)

Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a protein in a mitochondrion. This is a ribosome-mediated process in which the information in messenger RNA (mRNA) is used to specify the sequence of amino acids in the protein; the mitochondrion has its own ribosomes and transfer RNAs, and uses a genetic code that differs from the nuclear code.

Synonyms: mitochondrial protein anabolism; mitochondrial protein biosynthesis; mitochondrial protein formation; mitochondrial protein synthesis; mitochondrial protein translation
