Protein
Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM22 homolog
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Function
Central receptor component of the translocase of the outer membrane of mitochondria (TOM complex) responsible for the recognition and translocation of cytosolically synthesized mitochondrial preproteins (By similarity). Together with the peripheral receptor tomm-20 functions as the transit peptide receptor and facilitates the movement of preproteins into the translocation pore (PubMed:21264209).
Similarity
Belongs to the Tom22 family.
