Short Name | Glu_antiport |
description | Amino acid permeases are integral membrane proteins involved in the transportof amino acids into the cell. A number of such proteins have been found to beevolutionary related [, , ].These proteins seem to contain up to 12 transmembrane segments. The best conserved regionin this family is located in the second transmembrane segment.An example of the glutamate:g-aminobutyrate antiporter proteins is the amino acid transporter involved in extreme acid resistance from Shigella flexneri. |
