epsJ

Gene

epsJ

Protein

Uncharacterized glycosyltransferase EpsJ

Organism

Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)

Length

344 amino acids

Function

May be involved in the production of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) component of the extracellular matrix during biofilm formation. EPS is responsible for the adhesion of chains of cells into bundles.

Similarity

Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family.
