Bacterial potassium transporter


This protein family consists of various potassium transport proteins and V-type sodium ATP synthase subunit J or translocating ATPase J. These proteins are involved in active sodium uptake utilizing ATP in the process. TrkH from Escherichia coli is a transmembrane protein and determines the specificity and kinetics of cation transport by the TrK system in this organism. This protein interacts with TrkA and requires TrkE for transport activity.
