Tomm40 - translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 40

Predicted to enable cation channel activity; preprotein binding activity; and protein transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of apoptotic process; protein import into mitochondrial matrix; and protein insertion into mitochondrial membrane. Predicted to act upstream of or within ion transport and protein transport. Located in mitochondrial outer membrane. Is integral component of mitochondrial membrane. Is expressed in lung mesenchyme. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebral infarction. Orthologous to human TOMM40 (translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 40). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
