timm-23 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the mitochondrial import inner membrane translocase subunit Tim23; by homology, timm-23 is predicted to function in transporting proteins across the mitochondrial inner membrane.
Predicted to enable mitochondrion targeting sequence binding activity and protein transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in protein import into mitochondrial matrix. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of TIM23 mitochondrial import inner membrane translocase complex. Is an ortholog of human TIMM23 (translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 23).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
