Description

AI-generatedUnreviewed
This family of proteins is involved in the transport of various osmoprotectants and nutrients across cellular membranes. Members of this family function as part of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter complexes, which typically consist of multiple subunits that work together to translocate substrates. These proteins are primarily responsible for the energy-dependent uptake of compounds such as glycine betaine, choline, carnitine, and ergothioneine, which play roles in osmoprotection, cryoprotection, and antioxidation. The ATP-binding component of these transporters is crucial for providing the energy required for substrate translocation through the binding and hydrolysis of ATP.
