Translocation and assembly module subunit TamA

UniProtKB accession:  P0ADE4

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Part of the translocation and assembly module (TAM) autotransporter assembly complex, which functions in translocation of autotransporters across the outer membrane (PubMed:22466966, PubMed:25341963). Allows substrate (Ag43, AC P39180) to initiate penetration into the outer membrane; TamB is not necessary but may regulate this activity (PubMed:25341963). Has anion selective channel-forming ability, but the physiological relevance of this activity is unclear (PubMed:22466966).
