The TOC75 Family [Function: Biogenesis/Secretion] Seed alignment | Full alignment

The Translocon protein found at the outer-envelope-membrane of chloroplasts (TOC75) is a ß barrel integral membrane protein that belongs to the OMP85 superfamily. It acts as the protein translocation pathway on the outer membrane of chloroplast. POTRA domains of TOC75 together with TIC236 may form a continuous chaperone pathway for the translocation of pre-proteins across the intermembrane space.
