Protein translocase subunit SecA

UniProtKB accession:  P10408

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Required for protein export, interacts with the SecYEG preprotein conducting channel. SecA has a central role in coupling the hydrolysis of ATP to the transfer of proteins into and across the cell membrane, serving both as a receptor for the preprotein-SecB complex and as an ATP-driven molecular motor driving the stepwise translocation of polypeptide chains across the membrane.
