VanZ family protein
This family contains several examples of the VanZ protein, but also contains examples of phosphotransbutyrylases [1]. [1]. 7867956. The vanZ gene of Tn1546 from Enterococcus faecium BM4147 confers resistance to teicoplanin. Arthur M, Depardieu F, Molinas C, Reynolds P, Courvalin P;. Gene 1995;154:87-92. (from Pfam)
VanZ family protein is an integral membrane protein similar to Enterococcus faecium protein VanZ, which confers low-level resistance to the glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin (Te)
VanZ was originally identified in Enterococcus faecium. VanZ increases teicoplanin resistance in Enterococcus faecium, but has no impact on vancomycin resistance. Proteins of this family are homologs of the VanZ protein. They may be involved in teicoplanin resistance.
