Comments [?]

FUNCTIONWith TolR probably plays a role in maintaining the position of the peptidoglycan cell wall in the periplasm. Acts as a porin with low permeability that allows slow penetration of small solutes; an internal gate slows down solute passage.
case <OC:Escherichia> or <OC:Shigella> or <OC:Salmonella> or <OC:Klebsiella> or <OC:Erwinia>
FUNCTIONRequired for conjugation with F-type plasmids; probably serves as the mating receptor on recipient cells.
end case
SUBUNITMonomer and homodimer.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONCell outer membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
DOMAINThe extracellular loops are most variable in sequence, and in some bacteria confer sensitivity to phage and/or colicins.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the outer membrane OOP (TC 1.B.6) superfamily. OmpA family.
