01
Overview
Lipopolysaccharide transport protein D (LptD) is an essential outer membrane protein in Gram-negative bacteria. It forms a complex with LptE and functions as the outer membrane translocon for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) transport, inserting mature LPS molecules into the outer leaflet of the outer membrane. LptD is crucial for maintaining cell envelope integrity and bacterial viability, making it a potential target for novel antibacterial agents.
