| Description |
TIMM8A Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 120 amino acids (1-97) and having a molecular mass of 13.4 kDa.TIMM8A is fused to a 23 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Translocase of Inner Mitochondrial Membrane 8 Homolog A (TIMM8A) takes part in the import and insertion of hydrophobic membrane proteins from the cytoplasm into the mitochondrial. TIMM8A plays a role as a chaperone-like protein which protects the hydrophobic precursors from aggregation and leads them through the mitochondrial intermembrane space. TIMM8A is essential for the transfer of beta-barrel precursors from the TOM complex to the sorting and assembly machinery (SAM complex) of the outer membrane. Defects in TIMM8A cause Jensen syndrome. TIMM8A and TIMM13, forms a 70 kDa heterohexamer. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
