Identification
Name:Zinc transporter zitB
Synonyms:Not Available
Gene Name:zitB
Enzyme Class:Not Available
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in cation transmembrane transporter activity
Specific Function:Involved in zinc efflux across the cytoplasmic membrane, thus reducing zinc accumulation in the cytoplasm and rendering bacteria more resistant to zinc. It may contribute to zinc homeostasis at low concentrations of zinc, whereas zntA is required for growth at more toxic concentrations
Cellular Location:Cell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
