Description
Product Characteristics: 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.,TOMM40,C19orf1,D19S1177E,PER-EC1,PEREC1,TOM40,Cancer,Signal Transduction,Endocrine & Metabolism,Mitochondrial metabolism,Mitochondrial Biogenesis,Mitochondrial markers,Neuroscience,Neurodegenerative Diseases,TOMM40
Target Information: TOMM40 is the channel-forming subunit of the translocase of the mitochondrial outer membrane (TOM) complex that is essential for protein import into mitochondria (Humphries et al., 2005 [PubMed 15644312]).[supplied by OMIM, May 2008]
