ProGlyProt ID BU231 Organism Information Organism Name Myxococcus xanthus Domain Bacteria Classification Family: Myxococcaceae Suborder: Cystobacterineae Order: Myxococcales Class: Deltaproteobacteria or Deltabacteria Division or phylum: "Proteobacteria" Taxonomic ID (NCBI) Genome Sequence (s) GeneBank EMBL Gene Information Gene Name NCBI Gene ID Protein Information Protein Name VGP (74 kDa) UniProtKB/SwissProt ID NCBI RefSeq EMBL-CDS UniProtKB Sequence Sequence length Subcellular Location Membrane protein (peripheral) Function Its surface location and abundance suggest that VGP plays a role in vegetative swarming, because it appears primarily during growth of the organism and is lost in the course of development. May play an important role in the social behavior. Glycosylation Status Glycosylation Type Information currently not available with us. Technique(s) used for Glycosylation Detection PAS-staining and Dolichos lectin affinity binding. Literatures Reference(s) 1) Maeba, P.Y.
