In humans, 13 proteins are encoded by the mitochondrial genome while the vast majority of mitochondrial proteins are encoded by the nuclear genome. As a result, most mitochondrial proteins are synthesized as precursors in the cytoplasm and imported across mitochondrial membranes by one or more translocase protein complexes (1). The translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM complex) facilitates the import of proteins through the outer mitochondrial membrane, while the complementary translocase of the inner membrane (TIM complex) is responsible for protein transport to the mitochondrial matrix. The TOM complex consists of the receptors TOM20, TOM22, TOM70, and the channel-forming protein TOM40 (1). TOM20 is localized in the outer mitochondrial membrane and initially recognizes precursors with a presequence to facilitate protein import across the outer mitochondrial membrane (2). In a sequential process, recognition of the presequence by TOM20 is followed by tethering of the presequence to the TOM40 protein complex for efficient protein import (3).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nC19orf1; D19S1177E; Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM40 homolog; mitochondrial outer membrane protein; p38.5; PER-EC1; PEREC1; Protein Haymaker; TOM40; TOMM40; Translocase of outer membrane 40 kDa subunit homolog; translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 40; translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 40 homolog; translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 40 homolog (yeast)\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R Mk\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 39, 41\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799821668521,"sku":"55959T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-55959t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
