ThrE is a family of bacterial and Archaeal proteins that catalyse the export of L-threonine from the cell [1]. UniProtKB:Q79VD1 has been characterised as being necessary for this export. The domain exhibits 10 putative TMs and catalyses the proton-motive-force-dependent efflux of threonine and serine [2]. [1]. 12089010.
