TOMM34
Function
Plays a role in the import of cytosolically synthesized preproteins into mitochondria. Binds the mature portion of precursor proteins. Interacts with cellular components, and possesses weak ATPase activity. May be a chaperone-like protein that helps to keep newly synthesized precursors in an unfolded import compatible state.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the Tom34 family.
Tissue Specificity
Ubiquitous.
Cellular localization
- Cytoplasm
- Mitochondrion outer membrane
- Peripheral membrane protein
- Cytoplasmic side
