UniProtKB description:  Involved in copper homeostasis, could be involved in both copper efflux and the delivery of copper to copper-dependent enzymes (PubMed:7635807). Required for efficient binding of stationary phase cells to hydrophobic surfaces, part of the process of biofilm formation (PubMed:11830644). Functions during envelope stress responses; when overproduced induces degP through the activation of the two-component envelope stress response system CpxA/CpxR (PubMed:7635808, PubMed:15252048). DegP induction seems to require membrane anchoring of this protein (PubMed:15252048). Structural changes and/or interaction of the CXXC motif with its environment may lead to activation of the Cpx stress response (PubMed:17698001).
