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
