1.b.3.1.1
LamB (MalL) maltoporin (maltose–maltoheptose).  Also catalyzes the uptake of antibiotics (Lin et al. 2014).  LamB preferentially binds maltodextrins from the periplasmic side, and thus, sugar binding and uptake are asymmetric (Mulvihill et al. 2019).

Accession Number:P02943
Protein Name:LamB aka MALB aka B4036
Length:446
Molecular Weight:49912.00
Species:Escherichia coli [83333]
Number of TMSs:1
Location1 / Topology2 / Orientation3: Cell outer membrane1 / Multi-pass membrane protein2
Substrate alpha-cyclodextrin, maltose, maltose, alpha-maltotriose, maltotetraose, antimicrobial agent, maltoheptaose heptasaccharide, maltopentaose pentasaccharide
