Presenilins-associated rhomboid-like protein, mitochondrial (PARL)

Required for the control of apoptosis during postnatal growth. Essential for proteolytic processing of an antiapoptotic type of OPA1 which prevents the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c in response to inherent apoptoptic signals (By similarity).

Promotes changes in mitochondria morphology controlled by phosphorylation of P-beta domain. .
