We present the first mitochondrial genome of a ONE STEP CLEANSER South African endemic catshark, Poroderma pantherinum.The complete mitogenome is 16,686 bp in length, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and one non-coding control region.Similar to other shark mitogenomes, it is AT rich (61.1%), with a GC content of 38.9%.

Protein-coding genes Kids used one of two start codons (ATG and GTG) and one stop codon (TAA/TA-/T-).Phylogenetic analysis of the leopard catshark and 34 carcharhinid species showed that it clusters with two other scyliorhinid species (Cephaloscyllium umbratile and Scyliorhinus canicula) with 100% support.
