Mitochondrial methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MTFMT gene.[5]

The protein encoded by this nuclear gene localizes to the mitochondrion, where it catalyzes the formylation of methionyl-tRNA.[5] Recessive-type mutations in MTFMT have been shown to cause mitochondrial disease.[6]
