Timm8a1 - translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 8A1

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein targeting to mitochondrion. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein transport. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in cap mesenchyme; early tubule; lung mesenchyme; and renal interstitium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in deafness-dystonia-optic neuronopathy syndrome and dystonia. Orthologous to human TIMM8A (translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 8A).
