TFAM is encoded in the nucleus, synthesized as a precursor in the cytosol, and imported into the mitochondrial matrix (presumably by the SAM50 complex and the TIM23:PAM complex, reviewed in van der Laan et al. 2006). In the mitochondrial matrix TFAM binds the light strand promoter of mitochondrial DNA and regulates transcription.
