Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
This family of proteins includes members that are involved in the transport of undecaprenyl phosphate (UndP) across the cytoplasmic membrane. These proteins function as flippases, facilitating the movement of UndP from the external side to the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. This process is crucial for the recycling of UndP during the synthesis of peptidoglycan, which is an essential component of the bacterial cell wall. The family is characterized by the presence of DedA domain-containing proteins, which are implicated in membrane-related processes. While some proteins within this family remain uncharacterized, the common feature among annotated members is their association with membrane transport and potential involvement in cell envelope biogenesis.
