Description
Guanidinium ion exporter. Couples guanidinium export to the proton motive force, exchanging one guanidinium ion for two protons (PubMed:29507227). Overexpression leads to resistance to a subset of toxic quaternary ammonium compounds such as cetylpyridinium, cetyldimethylethyl ammonium and cetrimide cations (PubMed:11948170).
Family
Belongs to the drug/metabolite transporter (DMT) superfamily. Small multidrug resistance (SMR) (TC 2.A.7.1) family. Gdx/SugE subfamily.
Species
Escherichia coli (strain K12)
