Summary
cusA is in the cusCFBA Cu and Ag efflux operon regulated by Cu and Ag. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG12367]. CusA is a member of the Resistance-Nodulation-Cell Division (RND) Transporter Superfamily and is involved in the detoxification of copper and silver ions in Escherichia coli as part of the CusCFBA copper/silver efflux system. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG12367].
