TIMM50 translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 50

Gene ID: 92609, updated on 12-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MGCA9; TIM50; TIM50L

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.
