C6orf203 protein is reported to be localised to the mitochondria of eukaryotes and possess an evolutionarily conserved RNA-binding domain.^[6][7]

One study propose C6orf203 to associate with mitochondrial RNA polymerase (POLRMT) and increase mitochondrial transcription to protect the cell from mitochondrial RNA loss during stress.^[7] However, another study propose C6orf203 to associate with the mitoribosomal large subunit and regulate mitochondrial translation.^[6]
