NCBI Protein Information
Tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR)-like superfamily protein
NCBI Summary
Encodes one of the 36 carboxylate clamp (CC)-tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) proteins (Prasad 2010, Pubmed ID: 20856808). Functions as a chaperone receptor at the chloroplast outer envelope, mediating Hsp70-dependent protein targeting to chloroplasts. It has been localized to the ER membrane, interacts with the Sec translocon, and has a potential function in post-translational protein transport into the ER.

UniProt Comments
Plays a role in protein import into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). May function as chaperone docking protein during post-translational protein translocation into the ER. Chaperone receptor mediating Hsp70-dependent protein targeting to chloroplasts. Interacts specifically with some chloroplast precursors, but not with mitochondrial precursors. Able to select precursors for delivery to the chloroplast translocase independently of Hsp70.
