Protein
Arginine/agmatine antiporter
Organism
Chlamydia trachomatis serovar A (strain ATCC VR-571B / DSM 19440 / HAR-13)
Function
Catalyzes the exchange of L-arginine for agmatine. The arginine uptake by the bacterium in the macrophage may be a virulence factor against the host innate immune response (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily. Basic amino acid/polyamine antiporter (APA) (TC 2.A.3.2) family.
