Gene:
translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 44 homolog (yeast)
Gene ID:
193042
Symbol:
TIMM44
Species:
1000
Description:
Involved in protein import into the mitochondrion. Probably involved in translocation across the inner membrane. As a binding protein required for driving the import of preproteins. Recruits mitochondrial HSP70 to drive protein translocation into the matrix using ATP as an energy source.
