NCBI Protein Information
Tim10/DDP family zinc finger protein
NCBI Summary
Encodes a small zinc finger-like protein that is a component of the mitochondrial protein import apparatus. Together with AtTIM10, AtTIM9 is non-redundantly essential for maintaining mitochondrial function of early embryo proper cells and endosperm free-nuclei.

UniProt Comments
Mitochondrial intermembrane chaperone that participates in the import and insertion of multi-pass transmembrane proteins into the mitochondrial inner membrane. May also be required for the transfer of beta-barrel precursors from the TOM complex to the sorting and assembly machinery (SAM complex) of the outer membrane. Acts as a chaperone-like protein that protects the hydrophobic precursors from aggregation and guide them through the mitochondrial intermembrane space .
