?
membrane complex biogenesis protein, BtpA family Members of this family are found in C. elegans, Synechocystis sp., E. coli, and several of the Archaea. Members in Cyanobacteria have been shown to play a role in protein complex biogenesis, and designated BtpA (biogenesis of thylakoid protein). Homologs in non-photosynthetic species, where thylakoid intracytoplasmic membranes are lacking, are likely to act elsewhere in membrane protein biogenesis.
