TOM20, KIAA0016, MAS20, MGC117367, Mitochondrial 20 kDa outer membrane protein, Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM20 homolog, MOM19, Outer mitochondrial membrane receptor Tom20, TOM 20, TOM20_HUMAN, Translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20 homolog (yeast), Translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20 homolog type II.
Central component of the receptor complex responsible for the recognition and translocation of cytosolically synthesized mitochondrial preproteins. Together with TOM22 functions as the transit peptide receptor at the surface of the mitochondrion outer membrane and facilitates the movement of preproteins into the TOM40 translocation pore.
