basic FUNCTION
| essential for escorting a class of multimembrane-spanning proteins |
|
with TIMM9, plays an essential chaperone-like role during the import of mitochondrial membrane proteins (Ivanova 2008) |
|
TIMM9-TIMM10 complex plays an essential role in mitochondrial protein import by chaperoning select hydrophobic precursor proteins across the intermembrane space (Baker 2009) |
|
acting in substrate recognition (Baker 2009) |
|
mediating the import and insertion of hydrophobic membrane proteins into the mitochondrial inner membrane |
|
required to mediate translocation of ADP/ATP carrier across the outer membrane (Hasson 2010) |
|
role for the TIMM9-TIMM10 complex in the import of Tafazzin (TAZ) and TIMM22, but not TIMM23 (Hasson 2010) |
