TOM40 [YMR203W]
Component of the TOM (translocase of outer membrane) complex; responsible for recognition and initial import steps for all mitochondrially directed proteins; constitutes the core element of the protein conducting pore; pre-Tom40p is phosphorylated by PKA, which impairs its import into mitochondria under non-respiratory conditions
Synonyms: TOM40, TOM40p, P23644, ISP42, MOM38 ...
