UniProt functional annotation for O43615

UniProt code: O43615.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Essential component of the PAM complex, a complex required for the translocation of transit peptide-containing proteins from the inner membrane into the mitochondrial matrix in an ATP-dependent manner (By similarity). Recruits mitochondrial HSP70 to drive protein translocation into the matrix using ATP as an energy source (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35857, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q01852}.
 
Subunit: Probable component of the PAM complex at least composed of a mitochondrial HSP70 protein, GRPEL1 or GRPEL2, TIMM44, TIMM16/PAM16 and TIMM14/DNAJC19 (By similarity). The complex interacts with the TIMM23 component of the TIM23 complex. Interacts with SLC25A4/ANT1 and SLC25A5/ANT2; leading to inhibit the presequence translocase TIMM23, thereby promoting stabilization of PINK1 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35857, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q01852}.
Subcellular location: Mitochondrion inner membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10339406}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10339406}; Matrix side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10339406}. Mitochondrion matrix {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10339406}.
Similarity: Belongs to the Tim44 family. {ECO:0000305}.
