FadL outer membrane protein transport family explained

Outer membrane transport proteins (OMPP1/FadL/TodX) family includes several proteins that are involved in toluene catabolism and degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons. This family also includes protein FadL involved in translocation of long-chainfatty acids across the outer membrane. It is also a receptor for thebacteriophage T2.
