Plays an important role in the removal of damaged mitochondria via mitophagy by controlling the stability and localization of RAB7A. Required for the recruitment of RAB7A and ATG9A vesicles to damaged mitochondria and promotes the stability of RAB7A by inhibiting its proteasomal degradation during mitophagy. . This is the function of ENSG00000205765 (RIMOC1, RAB7A interacting MON1-CCZ1 complex subunit 1).
