Protein
Probable triacylglyceride transporter MT1454
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain CDC 1551 / Oshkosh)
Function
In association with lipoprotein LprG probably transports triacylglycerides (TAG) across the inner cell membrane into the periplasm; TAG probably regulates lipid metabolism and growth regulation. May be an efflux transporter and involved in maintaining correct cell wall permeability. Probably required with LprG for normal surface localization of lipoarabinomannan (LAM).
Similarity
Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily.
