Recombinant S. cerevisiae TIM16 Protein

Mitochondrial import inner membrane translocase subunit TIM16 (TIM16) is an ssential component of the PAM complex. PAM complex is required for the translocation of transit peptide-containing proteins from the inner membrane into the mitochondrial matrix in an ATP-dependent manner. In the complex, TIM16 is required to regulate activity of mtHSP70 (SSC1) via its interaction with PAM18/TIM14. TIM16 may act by positioning PAM18/TIM14 in juxtaposition to mtHSP70 at the translocon to maximize ATPase stimulation.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
