Term Name: protein import into mitochondrial matrix Search Ontology:
Synonyms:
  • mitochondrial matrix protein import
  • mitochondrial translocation
  • protein transport into mitochondrial matrix
Definition: The import of proteins across the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes into the matrix. Unfolded proteins enter the mitochondrial matrix with a chaperone protein; the information required to target the precursor protein from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix is contained within its N-terminal matrix-targeting sequence. Translocation of precursors to the matrix occurs at the rare sites where the outer and inner membranes are close together. 0716731363
