pfam03611: EIIC-GAT (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
PTS system sugar-specific permease component
This family includes bacterial transmembrane proteins with a putative sugar-specific permease function, including and analogous to the IIC component of the PTS system. It has been suggested that this permease may form part of an L-ascorbate utilisation pathway, with proposed specificity for 3-keto-L-gulonate (formed by hydrolyzis of L-ascorbate). This family includes the IIC component of the galactitol specific GAT family PTS system.
