Protein Family Models

This is a family of integral membrane proteins where the alignment appears to contain two duplicated modules of three transmembrane helices. The proteins are involved in the transport of anions across the cytoplasmic membrane [1] during taurine metabolism as an exporter of sulfoacetate [2]. This family used to be known as DUF81.
