Uncharacterized subfamily of the multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) proteins
The integral membrane proteins from the MATE family are involved in exporting metabolites across the cell membrane and are responsible for multidrug resistance (MDR) in many bacteria and animals. MATE has also been identified as a large multigene family in plants, where the proteins are linked to disease resistance. A number of family members are involved in the synthesis of peptidoglycan components in bacteria.
