translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane 40;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator 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. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile.
