Function

Mitochondrial intermembrane chaperone that participates in the import and insertion of multi-pass transmembrane proteins into the mitochondrial inner membrane. May also be required for the transfer of beta-barrel precursors from the TOM complex to the sorting and assembly machinery (SAM complex) of the outer membrane. Acts as a chaperone-like protein that protects the hydrophobic precursors from aggregation and guide them through the mitochondrial intermembrane space. {ECO:0000269PubMed:14726512}.

Subcellular Localization

Mitochondrion inner membrane {ECO:0000269PubMed:11489896, ECO:0000269PubMed:14726512}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269PubMed:11489896, ECO:0000269PubMed:14726512}; Intermembrane side {ECO:0000269PubMed:11489896, ECO:0000269PubMed:14726512}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous, with highest expression in heart, kidney, liver and skeletal muscle. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10552927, ECO:0000269PubMed:10611480}.
