Summary
IT (Ion Transporter) superfamily (Prakash, 2003). [More information is available at EcoGene: EG12995]. YghK, also named GlcA, is a glycolate transporter that belongs to the Lactate Permease Family (LctP) , due to its strong sequence similarity with the L-lactate permease, LldP. [More information is available at EcoCyc: G7542].
