Identification
Name:Maltoporin
Synonyms:
  • Lambda receptor protein
  • Maltose-inducible porin
Gene Name:lamB
Enzyme Class:Not Available
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in porin activity
Specific Function:Involved in the transport of maltose and maltodextrins, indispensable for translocation of dextrins containing more than three glucosyl moieties. A hydrophobic path ("greasy slide") of aromatic residues serves to guide and select the sugars for transport through the channel. Also acts as a receptor for several bacteriophages including lambda
Cellular Location:Cell outer membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
