Translocase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Translocase is a general term for a protein that assists in moving another molecule, usually across a membrane. Translocases are most common secretion system in Gram positive bacteria.
Examples include:
- ornithine translocase (SLC25A15), associated with ornithine translocase deficiency.
- carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase (SLC25A20), associated with carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency.
- Translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 40 (TOMM40), a protein encoded by the TOMM40 gene, whose alleles differentially impact the risk for Alzheimer's disease
