Organism
Borrelia burgdorferi (strain ATCC 35210 / B31 / CIP 102532 / DSM 4680)
Function
An outer membrane protein that may participate in pathogenesis. Some human Lyme disease patients have antibodies against this protein (PubMed:10948116). The Mlp proteins probably undergo intragenic recombination, generating new alleles (Probable).
