Comments

| FUNCTION | Gas vesicles are hollow, gas filled proteinaceous nanostructures found in some microorganisms. During planktonic growth they allow positioning of the organism at a favorable depth for light or nutrient acquisition. GvpA forms the protein shell. |
| SUBUNIT | The gas vesicle shell is 2 nm thick and consists of a single layer of this protein. It forms helical ribs nearly perpendicular to the long axis of the vesicle. |
| SUBCELLULAR LOCATION | Gas vesicle shell. |
| SIMILARITY | Belongs to the gas vesicle GvpA family. |
