| UniProt functional annotation for Q8ZRP8 | |||
| UniProt code: Q8ZRP8. |
| Organism: | Salmonella typhimurium (strain LT2 / SGSC1412 / ATCC 700720). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Salmonella. | |
| Function: | Proton-coupled chloride transporter. Functions as antiport system and exchanges two chloride ions for 1 proton. Probably acts as an electrical shunt for an outwardly-directed proton pump that is linked to amino acid decarboxylation, as part of the extreme acid resistance (XAR) response. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11796999}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell inner membrane {ECO:0000305}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the chloride channel (TC 2.A.49) family. ClcA subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
