Identification
Name:Cation efflux system protein cusC
Synonyms:Not Available
Gene Name:cusC
Enzyme Class:Not Available
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in transporter activity
Specific Function:Part of a cation efflux system that mediates resistance to copper and silver. In pathogenic strains it allows the bacteria to invade brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMEC) thus allowing it to cross the blood-brain barrier and cause neonatal meningitis
Cellular Location:Cell outer membrane; Lipid-anchor (Potential)
