TOM22
Saccharomyces cerevisiae Component of the TOM (Translocase of Outer Membrane) complex; responsible for initial import of mitochondrially directed proteins; mediates interaction between TOM and TIM complexes and acts as receptor for precursor proteins; implicated in mitochondrial accumulation of amyloid beta peptides via direct interaction with amyloid beta peptide residues 25-42 followed by transfer to Tom40p and transport through the TOM channel
