TIM23 mitochondrial inner membrane pre-sequence translocase complex, sort variant Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Major pre-protein translocase in the inner membrane of mitochondria, mediates the translocation of N-terminal, positively charged pre-sequence-containing proteins. Proteins in which the charged sequence is followed by a hydrophobic sorting signal are laterally transferred and inserted into the inner membrane.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
