Iron uptake protein A2

UniProtKB accession:  Q55835

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Probably part of a periplasmic ABC transporter complex futA1A2BC (TC 3.A.1.10.2) involved in Fe(3+) ion import (ferric iron). This protein and futA1 (slr1295) are subunit proteins that have redundant or overlapping substrate-binding functions (Probable). The differing subcellular locations of futA1 (predominantly thylakoid lumen) and futA2 (predominantly periplasmic) suggest they may fulfill different roles.
