Tomm70 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable mitochondrion targeting sequence binding activity and molecular adaptor activity. Predicted to contribute to protein transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell growth involved in cardiac muscle cell development; positive regulation of protein targeting to mitochondrion; and response to thyroxine. Located in mitochondrial outer membrane. Used to study congestive heart failure. Biomarker of hypothyroidism. Orthologous to human TOMM70 (translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 70).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Tomm70 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
