Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a component of the Sorting and Assembly Machinery (SAM) of the mitochondrial outer membrane. The Sam complex functions in the assembly of beta-barrel proteins into the outer mitochondrial membrane.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011].
UniProt Summary: Plays a crucial role in the maintenance of the structure of mitochondrial cristae and the proper assembly of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes (PubMed:22252321, PubMed:25781180). Required for the assembly of TOMM40 into the TOM complex (PubMed:15644312). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15644312, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22252321, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25781180}.
