This family includes outer membrane protein W (OmpW) proteins from a variety of bacterial species. This protein may form the receptor for S4 colicins in E. coli [1]. [1]. 10348872. Characterization of colicin S4 and its receptor, OmpW, a minor protein of the Escherichia coli outer membrane. Pilsl H, Smajs D, Braun V;. J Bacteriol 1999;181:3578-3581. [2]. 2336399. Nucleotide sequence of the gene, ompW, encoding a 22kDa immunogenic outer membrane protein of Vibrio cholerae. Jalajakumari MB, Manning PA;. Nucleic Acids Res 1990;18:2180-2180. (from Pfam)

OmpW/AlkL family protein may form a channel for the diffusion of small hydrophobic molecules across the outer membrane; similar to outer membrane protein OmpW that forms an eight-stranded beta-barrel with a hydrophobic channel and also acts as a receptor for colicin S4
