Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Involved in the high-affinity L-arabinose membrane transport system. Binds with high affinity to arabinose, but can also bind D- galactose (approximately 2-fold reduction) and D-fucose (approximately 40-fold reduction).
 
Subcellular location: Periplasm.
Induction: Induced by arabinose. Transcription is dependent on the transcription factor AraC, the cAMP receptor protein (CRP) and cAMP. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2231717}.
