Human TOM40-Strep full length protein-synthetic nanodisc

The protein encoded by this gene is localized in the outer membrane of the mitochondria. It is the channel-forming subunit of the translocase of the mitochondrial outer membrane (TOM) complex that is essential for import of protein precursors into mitochondria. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]. Human TOM40-Strep full length protein-synthetic nanodisc. Protein function: Channel-forming protein essential for import of protein precursors into mitochondria (PubMed:15644312, PubMed:31206022). Plays a role in the assembly of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I) by forming a complex with BCAP31 and mediating the translocation of Complex I components from the cytosol to the mitochondria (PubMed:31206022).
