Abstract
The study of protein uptake into mitochondria is an important tool for investigating the subcellular distribution of proteins and the molecular mechanisms that determine location. Here we describe five techniques that allow the quantitative or qualitative monitoring of protein uptake into mitochondria using both in vitro and in vivo approaches.
