IMMP2L Products

IMMP2L is a gene that codes for a protein whose function is to catalyze the removal of transit peptides that are required in order to target protein from the mitochondrial matrix into the inter-membrane space in all tissues except the liver and lung. IMMP2L has a length of 175 amino acids and a weight of approximately 20 kDa, and it has a shorter isoform comprised of 110 amino acids with a weight of approximately 12 kDa. Current studies are being done on diseases and disorders related to this gene including Tourette syndrome and malaria. IMMP2L has also been shown to have interactions with ALDH1B1, GPX4, GUF1, HACL1, and IDO2 in pathways such as the protein export pathway.
