This is a large family mainly comprising high-affinity branched-chain amino acid transporter proteins such as E. coli LivH Swiss:P08340 and LivM Swiss:P22729 both of which are form the LIV-I transport system [3]. Also found with in this family are proteins from the galactose transport system permease [2] and a ribose transport system [1]. [1]. 7921236.
