Identification
Name:Putative cryptic C4-dicarboxylate transporter dcuD
Synonyms:Not Available
Gene Name:dcuD
Enzyme Class:Not Available
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in C4-dicarboxylate transmembrane transporter activity
Specific Function:May have a role in the transport of dicarboxylates from the periplasm across the inner membrane. Seems not to be essential for growth. It is likely to be a cryptic gene, as no or low expression has been found under a number of growth conditions and when tested with a large number of potential substrates
Cellular Location:Cell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
