Protein attributes

Sequence length1094 AA.
Sequence statusComplete.
Protein existenceEvidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function

Arabinosyl transferase responsible for the polymerization of arabinose into the arabinan of arabinogalactan.

Subcellular location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Probable.

Miscellaneous

This is one of the targets of the anti-tuberculosis drug ethambutol [(S,S')-2,2'-(ethylenediimino)di-1-butanol; EMB]. EMB is a first-line drug used to treat tuberculosis. EMB inhibits the transfer of arabinogalactan into the cell wall.

Was identified as a high-confidence drug target.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the emb family.
