Facts about Mitochondrial import inner membrane translocase subunit Tim8 A.
Acts as a chaperone-like protein that protects the hydrophobic precursors from aggregation and guide them through the mitochondrial intermembrane space. The TIMM8-TIMM13 complex mediates the import of proteins such as TIMM23, SLC25A12/ARALAR1 and SLC25A13/ARALAR2, while the predominant TIMM9-TIMM10 70 kDa complex mediates the import of much more proteins (By similarity).

Present at high level in liver and brain, and at lower level in muscle and heart. In CNS sections, it is predominantly present in the soma and the dendritic portion of the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum, but not in the glial cells. Scattered expression also is also detected in the brain stem, olfactory bulb, substantia nigra, hippocampus and striatum (at protein level). Ubiquitously expressed.
