LptF
LptF is a protein component of the lipopolysaccharide transport (LPT) system in Gram-negative bacteria. This system is essential for the proper assembly and localization of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to the outer membrane of the bacterial cell. LPS is a critical component of the outer membrane, playing vital roles in cell structure, integrity, and interaction with the environment.
The LPT system is a multi-protein complex that spans the periplasmic space, connecting the inner membrane where
Specifically, LptF is thought to interact with LPS and help in its translocation across the periplasm. Its
