Gene: TIMM50

Alternate names for this Gene: MGCA9|TIM50|TIM50L

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a subunit of the TIM23 inner mitochondrial membrane translocase complex. The encoded protein functions as the receptor subunit that recognizes the mitochondrial targeting signal, or presequence, on protein cargo that is destined for the mitochondrial inner membrane and matrix. This protein may also play a role in maintaining the membrane permeability barrier, and knockdown of this gene in human cells results in the release of cytochrome c and apoptosis.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19q13.2

Description of this Gene: translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 50

Type of Gene: protein-coding
