UniProt functional annotation for Q2G506

UniProt code: Q2G506.

Organism: Novosphingobium aromaticivorans (strain ATCC 700278 / DSM 12444 / CCUG 56034 / CIP 105152 / NBRC 16084 / F199).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Sphingomonadales; Sphingomonadaceae; Novosphingobium.
 
Function: Mediates the ATP-dependent export of glutathione-conjugated substrates, such as heavy metal-glutathione conjugates. ATP hydrolysis is stimulated by glutathione binding. Protects cells against toxic heavy metal ions, such as silver and mercury ions. May also mediate the transport of glutathione-conjugated aromatic hydrocarbons, such as dinitrobenzene. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24604198}.
 
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24604198}.
Subcellular location: Cell inner membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24604198}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00441, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24604198}.
Similarity: Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. ABCB family. Heavy Metal importer (TC 3.A.1.210) subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
