Growth hormone-inducible transmembrane protein (GHITM), also known as transmembrane BAX inhibitor motif containing protein 5 (TMBIM5), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GHITM gene on chromosome 10. GHITM, also known asMICS1, TMBIM5 or DERP2, is a mitochondrial protein which localizes in the inner membrane. GHITM is involved in mitochondrial morphology in specific cristae structures and the apoptotic release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria. The gene of GHITM maps to chromosome 10q23.1, and encodes a 345-amino-acid protein with a calculated molecular mass of 37 kDa. The apparent molecular weight has been reported to be 42 kDa, the increased size in the protein may be due to post-translational modifications. GHITM can be cleaved into smaller forms of 23-27 kDa.
