Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity and protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial membrane organization; protein dephosphorylation; and protein import into mitochondrial matrix. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Predicted to be part of TIM23 mitochondrial import inner membrane translocase complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 3-methylglutaconic aciduria type 9. Orthologous to human TIMM50 (translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 50).
FB Description
tiny tim 3 (ttm3) encodes a mitochondrial inner membrane protein that is involved in mitochondrial protein translocation and maintenance of mitochondrial membrane potential.
