Mitochondrial import inner membrane translocase subunit TIM16 also known as presequence translocated-associated motor subunit PAM16, mitochondria-associated granulocyte macrophage CSF-signaling molecule, or presequence translocated-associated motor subunit PAM16 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PAM16 gene.[1][2][3]
The PAM16 gene is located on the p arm of chromosome 16 at position 13.3 and it spans 11,150 base pairs.[1] The PAM16 gene produces a 15.1 kDa protein composed of 137 amino acids.[4][5] The structure has been found to contain a 21-residue mitochondrial targeting leader sequence.[6]
