Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM70 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TOMM70A gene. The translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM) complex is a multisubunit complex involved in the recognition, unfolding, and translocation of preproteins into the mitochondria. See TIM17A (MIM 605057).[supplied by OMIM]. Publication Note: This RefSeq record includes a subset of the publications that are available for this gene. Please see the Gene record to access additional publications.
Function: Receptor that accelerates the import of all mitochondrial precursor proteins (By similarity).
