Description
Mitochondrial leader sequence (MLS) helps direct protein to the mitochondria. When this sequence is cloned in frame at the N-terminus of the protein, it can target the recombinant protein to the mitochondria in mammalian cells. MLS will be removed upon translocation into the mitochondrial matrix. However, at least four additional amino acids (Ile-His-Ser-Leu) on this sequence are known to be retained on the N-terminus of the protein.
