- Reactome:R-HSA-9662818 (iRHOM2 transports ADAM17:Zn2+ from Golgi to the plasma membrane)

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.
