    basic FUNCTION
  • playing an essential role for the import of protein precursors into the mitochondria and an active role in protein sorting for all sub-mitochondrial locations
  • import channel essential for protein import into mitochondria
  • facilitate translocation of unfolded proteins from the cytosol into the mitochondrial intermembrane space
  • TOMM40 complex is a protein translocator in the mitochondrial outer membrane and consists of several different subunits
  • is a central subunit that constitutes a protein-conducting channel by forming a beta-barrel structure
  • mediates mitochondrial dysfunction induced by SNCA accumulation in Parkinson disease
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • channel-forming subunit of the translocase of the mitochondrial outer membrane (TOM complex)
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacts directly with precursors to help them translocate across the outer membrane
  • MINOS1 interacts with TOMM40 and SAMM50 independently and the core subunit IMMT is involved in biogenesis of outer membrane beta-barrel proteins

    Susceptibility
  • to late-onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD)
  • to amnestic mild cognitive impairment
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • risk alleles were approximately twice as frequent in AD subjects with hippocampal atrophy as controls (Potkin 2009)
  • TOMM40 rs157581 polymorphism may modulate regional spontaneous brain activity and related to the progression of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI)
  • Candidate gene
    Marker
  • TOMM40 downregulation, found in the brain in severe AD may be a potential marker for AD, disease severity or progression
