TOMM7

Component of the translocase of the outer membrane of mitochondria (TOM) complex essential for the recognition and translocation of cytosolically synthesized mitochondrial preproteins. The TOM complex associates with the ion channel VDAC2 and PINK1 kinase at depolarized mitochondria, this interaction stabilizes PINK1 at the outer mitochondrial membrane and triggers downstream mitophagy by the recruitment of the E3 ubiquitin ligase PRKN..
