Description | On the basis of a phylogenomic study of thiamine biosynthetic, salvage, and transporter genes and a highly conserved RNA element THI, this protein family has been identified as a probable transporter of hydroxymethylpyrimidine (HMP). ThiD phosphorylates hydroxymethylpyrimidine and when joined (by ThiE) to hydroxyethylthiazole phosphate creates thiamine phosphate [ ]. | Name | Hydroxymethylpyrimidine transporter CytX |
Short Name | Thia_CytX | Type | Family |
