Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM70

UniProtKB accession:  O94826

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Acts as a receptor of the preprotein translocase complex of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM complex) (PubMed:12526792). Recognizes and mediates the translocation of mitochondrial preproteins from the cytosol into the mitochondria in a chaperone dependent manner (PubMed:12526792, PubMed:35025629). Mediates TBK1 and IRF3 activation induced by MAVS in response to Sendai virus infection and promotes host antiviral responses during virus infection (PubMed:20628368, PubMed:25609812, PubMed:32728199). Upon Sendai virus infection, recruits HSP90AA1:IRF3:BAX in mitochondrion and the complex induces apoptosis (PubMed:25609812).
