| UniProt functional annotation for P37019 | |||
| UniProt code: P37019. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| 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:12384697, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14985752, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16341087, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16905147, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18678918}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18678918}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell inner membrane {ECO:0000305}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Induction: | By acid-shock conditions. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the chloride channel (TC 2.A.49) family. ClcA subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
