Gene
TOM40-1
Protein
Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM40-1
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Length
309 amino acids
Function
Central component of the receptor complex responsible for the recognition and translocation of cytosolically synthesized mitochondrial preproteins. Together with TOM22 functions as the transit peptide receptor at the surface of the mitochondrion outer membrane and facilitates the movement of preproteins into the translocation pore. Directly involved in the pore formation.
Similarity
Belongs to the Tom40 family.
