| Name | protein transporter activity |
| ID | GO_0140318 |
| collection_id | Molecular function |
| Description | Directly binding to a specific protein and delivering it to a specific cellular location. |
| Related synonym | protein carrier activity, protein transport chaperone |
| Comment | Examples of protein carriers include the soluble TIM chaperone complexes of S. cerevisiae Tim9-Tim10 and Tim8-Tim13, that provide a shuttle system between TOM and the membrane insertases TIM22 and SAM and, thus, ensure that precursors are kept in a translocation-competent conformation. |
