Trimethylamine N-oxide-binding protein

UniProtKB accession:  Q5LT66

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Part of the ABC transporter complex TmoXWV involved in trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) import (PubMed:24550299). Is specific for TMAO and essential for TMAO metabolism (PubMed:24550299). Binds TMAO with high affinity (PubMed:26283766). In vitro, also presents a high binding affinity for choline, however this transporter seems specific for TMAO and the choline-binding affinity presented by recombinant TmoX may not make physiological sense (PubMed:26283766).
