NCBI Protein Information
translocon at inner membrane of chloroplasts 21
NCBI Summary
Encodes a protein located in the chloroplast inner envelope. The study of mutant defective in the gene product suggests that the protein is involved in the translocation of protein across the envelope membrane into the chloroplast stroma.
