Mitochondrial inner membrane single-pass transmembrane proteins are inserted into the inner membrane

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondrial inner membrane single-pass transmembrane proteins are inserted into the inner membrane through a transporter called Oxa translocase. This process is distinct from the role of the TIM and TOM complexes, which are involved in the translocation of proteins across and into the mitochondrial membranes, but not specifically in the insertion of single-pass transmembrane proteins into the inner membrane.
