| Function |
Cell wall formation. Essential for the formation of a septum of the murein sacculus. Synthesis of cross-linked peptidoglycan from the lipid intermediates.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell inner membrane; Single-pass membrane protein; Periplasmic side. Note=The bulk of the molecule, except for the N-terminal membrane anchor region, protrudes into the periplasmic space, where it acts on murein.
