ProGlyProt ID BU181 Organism Information Organism Name Mycobacterium kansasii Domain Bacteria Classification Family: Mycobacteriaceae Suborder: Corynebacterineae Order: Actinomycetales Subclass: Actinobacteridae Class: Actinobacteria Division or phylum: "Actinobacteria" Taxonomic ID (NCBI) Genome Sequence (s) GeneBank EMBL Gene Information Gene Name NCBI Gene ID Protein Information Protein Name 50 kDa antigen UniProtKB/SwissProt ID NCBI RefSeq EMBL-CDS UniProtKB Sequence Sequence length Subcellular Location Function It is a potent antigen for tuberculin skin test. However, a limited specificity is displayed by skin test reactions to it in sensitized guinea pigs. Glycosylation Status Glycosylation Type Information currently not available with us.
