Lipopolysaccharide Transporter (Lpt)

Target
Lpt
Molecular classification
Transporter, ABC transporter, Multi-protein complex
01

Overview

The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) transporter, or Lpt system, is a multi-protein complex in Gram-negative bacteria responsible for transporting LPS from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. It is essential for maintaining outer membrane integrity and protecting bacteria from environmental threats, including antibiotics. The Lpt system is a potential drug target for novel antibacterial agents.
