[5][6] This gene encodes a mitochondrial DNA-directed RNA polymerase.

The gene product is responsible for mitochondrial gene expression as well as for providing RNA primers for initiation of replication of the mitochondrial genome.

[8] The exact termination process is less understood, but MTERF1 is thought to play a role.
