Abstract

Protein import into the mitochondria involves several translocase complexes: the preprotein translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM complex) and the two preprotein translocases of the inner mitochondrial membrane (called TIM complexes).

TOM5 is a component of the TOM complex. This entry represents TOM5 from the plant complex, which consist at least of six subunits [ 1 , 2 ].
