Identification
Name:Ascorbate-specific permease IIC component ulaA
Synonyms:
  • Ascorbate-specific PTS system EIIC component
Gene Name:ulaA
Enzyme Class:Not Available
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system
Specific Function:The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS), a major carbohydrate active- transport system, catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sugar substrates concomitant with their translocation across the cell membrane. This system is involved in ascorbate transport
Cellular Location:Cell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
