Summary
Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase assembly; mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I assembly; and protein import into mitochondrial matrix. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Predicted to be part of TIM23 mitochondrial import inner membrane translocase complex. Orthologous to human TIMM21 (translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 21). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
