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).

This entry represents TOM6 from the plant TOM complex, which consist at least of six subunits [ 1 , 2 ].
