TIM9-TIM10-TIM12 mitochondrial intermembrane space protein transporter complex 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
Facilitates transport of hydrophobic precursors of a distinct subgroup of inner membrane proteins through the aqueous intermembrane space as they exit the TOM40 channel complex (CPX-474) in the outer membrane. Functions as a chaperone to maintain the hydrophobic membrane proteins in an import competent state and escort substrates to the TIM22 insertion complex (CPX-1629), which mediates protein insertion into the 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.
