function | 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 (By similarity). |
similarity | Belongs to the Tom40 family. |
tissue specificity | Expressed in roots, flowers, young cotyledons and leaves. |
