Protein name

RecName: Full=Cell division protein sepF;

Gene name

sepF

FUNCTION	Cell division protein that is part of the divisome complex and is recruited early to the Z-ring. Probably stimulates Z-ring formation, perhaps through the cross-linking of FtsZ protofilaments. Its function overlaps with FtsA (By similarity).
SUBUNIT	Homodimer. Interacts with FtsZ (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION	Cytoplasm (By similarity). Note=Localizes to the division site, in a FtsZ-dependent manner (By similarity).
SIMILARITY	Belongs to the SepF family.
