OverviewNCBI Gene
Multipass transmembrane proteins are brought into mitochondria and inserted into the mitochondrial inner membrane by way of the TIM22 complex. This complex has six subunits and is a twin-pore translocase. The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of TIM22 and represents the voltage-activated and signal-gated channel.

Whether an antibody against TIMM22 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads TIMM22 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against TIMM22 could matter depends on whether native TIMM22 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
TIMM22 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label TIMM22 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
