TIM23 mitochondrial import inner membrane translocase complex

Term ID
GO:0005744
Synonyms
  • mitochondrial inner membrane pre-sequence translocase complex
  • mitochondrial inner membrane presequence translocase complex
  • mitochondrial inner membrane translocase complex
  • Tim23 complex
Definition
The protein transport machinery of the mitochondrial inner membrane that typically transports proteins that possess a matrix-targeting N-terminal presequence. The TIM23 complex contains three essential Tim proteins: Tim17 and Tim23 are thought to build a preprotein translocation channel while Tim44 interacts transiently with the matrix heat-shock protein Hsp70 to form an ATP-driven import motor.
