Phospho-TOMM22 (Ser43) Antibody - #AF3531

Central receptor component of the translocase of the outer membrane of mitochondria (TOM complex) responsible for the recognition and translocation of cytosolically synthesized mitochondrial preproteins. Together with the peripheral receptor TOM20 functions as the transit peptide receptor and facilitates the movement of preproteins into the translocation pore. Required for the translocation across the mitochondrial outer membrane of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (By similarity).

Mitochondrion outer membrane>Single-pass membrane protein.

Ubiquitous.

Forms part of the preprotein translocase complex of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM complex) which consists of at least 7 different proteins (TOMM5, TOMM6, TOMM7, TOMM20, TOMM22, TOMM40 and TOMM70). Interacts with TOMM40. Interacts with PPP2R2B (By similarity).

Requires the transmembrane domain (TMD), a short segment (the import sequence) in the cytoplasmic domain localizing separately from the TMD and the C-tail signal in the C-terminal domain for efficient targeting and integration into the TOM complex (By similarity). The N-terminal domain (residues 1-62) is important for binding to the unfolded mature imported proteins. Residues (49-71) of the cytoplasmic domain interacts with TOMM20 while the C-terminal segment (residues 63-82) binds presequence of preproteins.

Belongs to the Tom22 family.
