PAM complex

Function

• required for the translocation of transit peptide-containing mitochondrial proteins from the mitochondial inner membrane into the mitochondrial matrix (ATP-dependent)
• interacts with the TIMM23 component of the TIM23 complex

Structure

• subunits:
  • mitochondrial HSP70 protein, GRPEL1 or GRPEL2, TIMM44, TIMM16/MAGMAS & TIMM14/DNAJC19

More general terms

• multisubunit protein
• mitochondrial membrane protein
• carrier protein (transporter)

Additional terms

• TIM23 complex
