Mitochondrially encoded tRNA cysteine also known as MT-TC is a
transfer RNA which in humans is encoded by the
mitochondrialMT-TCgene.[3]
MT-TC is a small 82 nucleotide
RNA (human mitochondrial map position 5761–5826) that transfers the amino acid
cysteine to a growing
polypeptide chain at the
ribosome site of
protein synthesis during
translation.
