Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity and protein transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular protein transport; positive regulation of protein processing; and protein import into mitochondrial matrix. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein transport. Located in migrasome and mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; heart; orbito-sphenoid; submandibular gland primordium; and tooth. Orthologous to several human genes including TIMM23 (translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 23).
