Identification
Name:Crotonobetaine
DescriptionCrotonobetaine is a member of the chemical class known as Quaternary Ammonium Salts. These are compounds containing positively charged polyatomic ion of the structure NR4+, R being an alkyl group or an aryl groupCrotonobetaine is invovled in Carnitine metabolism, and ABC transporters. Crotonobetaine is involved in carnitine metabolism. Carnitine dehydratase from Escherichia coli O44 K74 is an inducible enzyme detectable in cells grown anaerobically in the presence of L-(-)-carnitine or crotonobetaine. (PMID 8188598).

Transporters

General function:
Involved in transporter activity
Specific function:
Proton symporter that senses osmotic shifts and responds by importing osmolytes such as proline, glycine betaine, stachydrine, pipecolic acid, ectoine and taurine. It is both an osmosensor and an osmoregulator which is available to participate early in the bacterial osmoregulatory response
