Bacterial microcompartment shell protein EutM

UniProtKB accession:  Q187N0

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  A component of the bacterial microcompartment (BMC) shell dedicated to ethanolamine degradation. Each homohexamer has a central pore with an opening of up to 9.0 Angstroms. Expression of the eut operon may allow this bacteria to use ethanolamine as a carbon, nitrogen and energy source. The pore probably allows metabolite passage into and out of the BMC.
