Term Name:	TIM23 mitochondrial import inner membrane translocase complex
Synonyms:	mitochondrial inner membrane pre-sequence translocase complex, mitochondrial inner membrane presequence translocase complex, mitochondrial inner membrane translocase complex, Tim23 complex
Definition:	The protein transport machinery of the mitochondrial inner membrane that typically transports proteins that possess a matrix-targeting N-terminal presequence. The TIM23 complex contains three essential Tim proteins: Tim17 and Tim23 are thought to build a preprotein translocation channel while Tim44 interacts transiently with the matrix heat-shock protein Hsp70 to form an ATP-driven import motor.
