NCBI Protein Information
translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane 40
NCBI Summary
Encodes a component of the TOM receptor complex responsible for the recognition and translocation of cytosolically synthesized mitochondrial preproteins. With TOM22, functions as the transit peptide receptor at the surface of the mitochondrial outer membrane and facilitates the movement of preproteins into the translocation pore.

UniProt Comments
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.
