Type: | Family | Name: | ABC transporter, urea, permease protein, UrtC |
Description: | This entry consists of ABC transporter permease proteins associated with urea transport and metabolism. They are encoded in a conserved five-gene transport operon typically found adjacent to urease genes. It was shown in Cyanobacteria that disruption leads to the loss of high-affinity urea transport activity []. | Short Name: | ABC_transptr_urea_perm_UrtC |
