UniProtKB description:  Mitochondrial GTPase that mediates the disassembly of ribosomes from messenger RNA at the termination of mitochondrial protein biosynthesis (PubMed:19716793, PubMed:33878294). Acts in collaboration with MRRF (PubMed:19716793, PubMed:33878294). Promotes mitochondrial ribosome recycling by dissolution of intersubunit contacts (PubMed:33878294). GTP hydrolysis follows the ribosome disassembly and probably occurs on the ribosome large subunit (PubMed:19716793). Not involved in the GTP-dependent ribosomal translocation step during translation elongation (PubMed:19716793).
