TOMM22

Also known as 1C9-2, MST065, MSTP065, TOM22, translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 22

Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM22 homolog (hTom22) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TOMM22 gene.

Gene data

TOMM22

Name: translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 22
Type: protein-coding
Position: 38,681,924–38,685,421 (+)
Aliases: 1C9-2, MST065, MSTP065, TOM22
Ensembl: ENSG00000100216
RefSeq RNA: NM_020243.5
RefSeq protein: NP_064628.1

The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein of the mitochondrial outer membrane. The encoded protein interacts with TOMM20 and TOMM40, and forms a complex with several other proteins to import cytosolic preproteins into the mitochondrion. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM22 homolog (hTom22) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TOMM22 gene.

The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein of the outer mitochondrial membrane. The encoded protein interacts with TOMM20 and TOMM40, and with other proteins forms a complex – the translocase of the outer membrane, to import cytosolic preproteins into the mitochondrion.
