Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable interleukin-2 receptor binding activity; phosphoprotein phosphatase activity; and ribonucleoprotein complex binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial membrane organization and protein import into mitochondrial matrix. Predicted to act upstream of or within release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; cerebral cortex; olfactory epithelium; and submandibular gland primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 3-methylglutaconic aciduria type 9. Orthologous to human TIMM50 (translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 50).
