    -  Gene name Name=lamB; Synonyms=malB; OrderedLocusNames=b4036, JW3996;  
    -  Comments
  • FUNCTION:Involved in the transport of maltose and maltodextrins, indispensable for translocation of dextrins containing more than three glucosyl moieties. A hydrophobic path ("greasy slide") of aromatic residues serves to guide and select the sugars for transport through the channel. Also acts as a receptor for several bacteriophages including lambda.
  • SUBUNIT:Homotrimer formed of three 18-stranded antiparallel beta-barrels, containing three independent channels.
  • INTERACTION:P10408:secA; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-371309, EBI-543213;
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION:Cell outer membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
  • INDUCTION:By maltose.
  • SIMILARITY:Belongs to the porin lamB (TC 1.B.3) family.
