Gene details
- HGNC symbol
- TOMM40
- Aliases
- TOM40; PEREC1; C19orf1; PER-EC1; D19S1177E
- Common name
- translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 40
- Description
- 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. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
