Protein
Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM20 homolog
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Function
Central component of the receptor complex responsible for the recognition and translocation of cytosolically synthesized mitochondrial preproteins (By similarity). Together with tomm-22 functions as the transit peptide receptor at the surface of the mitochondrion outer membrane and facilitates the movement of preproteins into the translocation pore (PubMed:21264209).
Similarity
Belongs to the Tom20 family.
