{"symbol":"TIMM8B","synonyms":["DDP2","TIM8B"],"name":"translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 8 homolog B (yeast)","description":"This gene encodes a member of a well-conserved family of proteins with similarity to yeast Tim mitochondrial import proteins. This gene is encoded by a nuclear gene and is transported into the intermembrane space of the mitochondrion. When formed into complexes, these proteins guide membrane-spanning proteins across the mitochondrial intermembrane space before they are added into the mitochondrial inner membrane. This gene is adjacent to succinate dehydrogenase, subunit D (SDHD), in which mutations have been found in affected members of families with hereditary paraganglioma.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":26521,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/26521","proteins":[{"symbol":"TIM8B_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/TIM8B_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[]}
