| UniProt functional annotation for P10903 | |||
| UniProt code: P10903. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes nitrate uptake, nitrite uptake and nitrite export across the cytoplasmic membrane. Functions as a nitrate/nitrite exchanger, and protons are probably not co-transported with the substrate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11967075, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15667293, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16804183, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23665960, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2668029}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell inner membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15919996}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15919996}. | |
| Induction: | Highly expressed during anaerobic growth in the presence of nitrate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16804183, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2668029}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Nitrate/nitrite porter (TC 2.A.1.8) family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
