Identification
Name:Ascorbate-specific phosphotransferase enzyme IIA component
Synonyms:
  • PTS system ascorbate-specific EIIA component
Gene Name:ulaC
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in transporter activity
Specific Function:The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (sugar PTS), a major carbohydrate active -transport system, catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sugar substrates concomitantly with their translocation across the cell membrane. This system is involved in ascorbate transport
Cellular Location:Cytoplasm (Probable)
