Ger(x)C family spore germination C-terminal domain-containing protein
The GerAC protein of the Bacillus subtilis spore is required for the germination response to L-alanine. Members of this family are thought to be located in the inner spore membrane. Although the function of this family is unclear, they are likely to encode the components of the germination apparatus that respond directly to this germinant, mediating the spore's response [1].

Ger(x)C family spore germination protein
Members of this protein family are restricted to endospore-forming members of the Firmicutes lineage of bacteria, including the genera Bacillus, Clostridium, Thermoanaerobacter, Carboxydothermus, etc. Members are nearly all predicted lipoproteins and belong to probable transport operons, some of which have been characterized as crucial to germination in response to alanine. Members typically have been gene symbols gerKC, gerAC, gerYC, etc.
