Also known as UNQ9438
Summary
TOMM20L (translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20 like, HGNC:33752) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q23.1, encoding TOMM20-like protein 1 (Q6UXN7).
Predicted to enable mitochondrion targeting sequence binding activity. Predicted to contribute to protein transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in protein import into mitochondrial matrix and tRNA import into mitochondrion. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial outer membrane. Predicted to be part of mitochondrial outer membrane translocase complex.
