Mitochondrial Protein Transport : Advanced Look

The process by which proteins are transported into the mitochondria can be divided into different stages. In order to accommodate the larger number of stills contained in Advanced Look, the selected images have been grouped into pages that correspond with these areas.

To see the Flash movie for the following sequences of images, click here.

The first stage of transport occurs in the cytosol of the cell. More detail...
The final steps of transport occur in the matrix space of the mitochondria. More detail...
