AccessionGenProp0872
Namedecarboxylation/antiport proton-motive cycle: histidine-histamine
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionThe decarboxylation of histidine to histamine consumes a proton. Exchange of histamine for histadine by an antiporter completes a cycle that effectively removes a cytosolic proton. Decarboxylation/antiporter systems for this and other (e.g. aspartate-alanine) substrate pairs can provide protection against acidic pH.
JCVI RoleAdaptations to atypical conditions
Parent PropertyGenProp0873: ion-motive antiporter cycles
GenProp0874: response to acid (low pH) environment
