General description

Translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 22 (TOMM22) is an essential receptor of the mitochondrial import channel. It is characterized with an N-terminal negatively charged region exposed to the cytosol, a putative transmembrane region and a C-terminal intermembrane space region with little negative charge.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 22 (TOMM22) is a key constituent of TOM complex. It functions as a mitochondrial receptor for the proapoptotic protein Bax (BCL2-associated X protein). TOMM22 interacts with 3-β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 (3βHSD2) and converts pregnenolone-to-progesterone in steroidogenic cells.
