Translocases,EC 7

Translocase is a general term for a protein that assists in moving another molecule, usually across a cell membrane. These enzymes catalyze the movement of ions or molecules across membranes or their separation within membranes. Translocases are the most common secretion system in Gram positive bacteria. Translocases biological importance relies primarily on their critical function, in the way that they provide movement across the cell's membrane in many cellular processes that are substantial. Translocases are classified as EC 7 in the EC number classification of enzymes.
