InterPro domain: IPR006042

General Information

  • Identifier IPR006042
  • Description Xanthine/uracil permease

Abstract

A number of transport proteins which are involved in the uptake of xanthineor uracil are evolutionary related [ 1 ].They are proteins of from 430 to 595 residues that seem to contain 12transmembrane domains.
