| Primary Identifier | IPR007932 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | Receptor-recog_Gp38 |
| description | T-even bacteriophages recognise their cellular receptors with the free ends of their six long tail fibres. The Gp38 protein from bacteriophage T2 and related phages is located at the tip of the tail fibre, where it recognises the host receptor []. OmpC has been identified as the host receptor, and sequence variations appear to be an important determinant of host specificity [].Note this family is not related, either in sequence similairty or function, to the Gp38 protein from bacteriophage T4. |
