2.A.29.25.1
The mitochondrial presenilin-associated protein (PSAP; MTCH1) binds to the PDZ domain (a QFYI motif) C-terminus of presenilin. It contains 2 solcar repeats and is 389 aas long. It is most similar to 2.A.29.23.1 and 2.A.29.12.1. There are 2 human isoforms, mitochondrial carrier homologues, MTCH1 and MTCH2, possibly involved in apoptosis (Xu et al., 1999, 2002). Its transport function is unknown (Xu et al., 1999, 2002).  Surprisingly, this protein has been reported to be targetted to the outer mitochonrdial membrane (Gutiérrez-Aguilar and Baines 2013). Two proapoptotic PSAP isoforms generated by alternative splicing differ in the length of a hydrophilic loop located between two predicted transmembrane domains. Both isoforms are expressed in human and rat tissues. PSAP probably contains multiple mitochondrial targeting motifs dispersed along the protein (Lamarca et al. 2007).
