Target intelligence / Profile preview

Gram-negative Outer Membrane Protein (OMP)

Target: OMP
Molecular classification: Transporter, Receptor, Enzyme, Structural protein, Porin

Overview

Gram-negative outer membrane proteins (OMPs) are integral components of the outer membrane (OM) found in Gram-negative bacteria. They are predominantly β-barrel proteins that function as channels, transporters, receptors, enzymes, and structural elements. OMPs play crucial roles in nutrient uptake, signal transduction, cell adhesion, virulence, and antibiotic resistance.

Other names: Outer Membrane ProteinOMPs

Mechanism of action

Varies depending on the specific OMP; examples include blocking transport, inhibiting enzymatic activity, or disrupting protein-protein interactions.
