Mitochondrial Lon protease is an '''ATP-dependent serine protease''' involved in the selective degradation of abnormal proteins. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LONP1 LONP1] situated on chromosome 19 is the nuclear gene encoding mitochondrial Lon protein. The single species of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messenger_RNA mRNA] of this protein is found in the mitochondrial matrix. This protein from human tissues has a molecular mass of 100 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalton_(unit) kDA]. | [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrion Mitochondrial] Lon [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protease protease] is an '''ATP-dependent serine protease''' involved in the selective degradation of abnormal proteins.
