| Protein Information |
| Protein Name | VGP (74 kDa) |
| UniProtKB/SwissProt ID | |

| 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. |
