translocon at the outer envelope membrane of chloroplasts 75-III;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary:
Component of the translocon outer membrane (TOC) complex. Forms the outer envelope translocation channel (beta-barrel). Plays a role in preprotein conductance. Imported into chloroplast. Expressed in young dividing photosynthetic tissues. Knockout mutants are embryo lethal with arrested development at the two-cell stage. Knockout mutants have abnormal etioplasts.
