dcuD

Gene
dcuD
Protein
Putative cryptic C4-dicarboxylate transporter DcuD
Organism
Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Length
455 amino acids
Function
May have a role in the transport of dicarboxylates from the periplasm across the inner membrane. Seems not to be essential for growth. It is likely to be a cryptic gene, as no or low expression has been found under a number of growth conditions and when tested with a large number of potential substrates.
Similarity
Belongs to the DcuC/DcuD transporter (TC 2.A.61) family.
