Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell growth involved in cardiac muscle cell development; positive regulation of interferon-beta production; and regulation of defense response. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congestive heart failure. Orthologous to human TOMM70 (translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 70).
