RefSeq status: PROVISIONAL
Organism: Escherichia coli str. K-12 substr. MG1655 (strain: K-12, substrain: MG1655)
Lineage: Bacteria; Pseudomonadota; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia
Also known as: ECK2969; yghK
Summary: IT (Ion Transporter) superfamily (Prakash, 2003). [More information is available at EcoGene: EG12995]. YghK, also named GlcA, is a glycolate transporter that belongs to the Lactate Permease Family (LctP) , due to its strong sequence similarity with the L-lactate permease, LldP.
