Protein
Gas vesicle protein C 2
Organism
Halobacterium salinarum (strain ATCC 700922 / JCM 11081 / NRC-1)
Function
May confer stability to the gas vesicle membranes. Gas vesicles are small, hollow, gas filled protein structures that are found in several microbial planktonic microorganisms. They allow the positioning of the organism at the favorable depth for growth.
