Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ SAMM50 is a component of the sorting and assembly machinery (SAM) complex of the outer mitochondrial membrane. The SAM complex has a role in integrating beta-barrel proteins into the outer mitochondrial membrane (Humphries et al., 2005 [PubMed 15644312]).[supplied by OMIM_x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ SAMM50 (AAH07830, 1 a.a. ~ 468 a.a) full-length recombinant protein with GST tag.

SAM 50, along with mitofilin and coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 3 (CHCHD3), plays a vital role in maintaining mitochondrial shape, the morphology of cristae, and the assembly of respiratory complexes. Elevated expression of SAMM50 leads to mitochondrial fragmentation in HeLa cells under the influence of dynamin-related protein (Drp) 1. Depleted expression of SAM 50 affects assembly and steady-state level of voltage-dependent anion-selective channel (VDAC), which is essential for transport of metabolite across OMM.
