Gene
gvpJ11
Protein
Gas vesicle protein GvpJ 1
Organism
Halobacterium salinarum (strain ATCC 700922 / JCM 11081 / NRC-1)
Length
114 amino acids
Function
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. This protein could be important for the shape determination of the gas vesicle.
Similarity
Belongs to the gas vesicle protein type A family.
