zitB/ybgR	BacMet ID: BAC0459 Code for: Efflux Family: Cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) transporter family Sequence: FASTA Cross-database IDs: Link Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12) Location: Chromosome Compound: Zinc (Zn) Description: Zinc transporter ZitB; Involved in zinc efflux across the cytoplasmic membrane, thus reducing zinc accumulation in the cytoplasm and rendering bacteria more resistant to zinc; contributes to Zn++ haemostatis at low (non-toxic) concentrations; Appears to be selective for zinc, not conferring resistance to cobalt nor cadmium Length (amino acid): 313 Reference: Grass et al. 2001; Pubmed- 11443104, Lee et al. 2002; Pubmed- 12399046	Similar resistance genes in 'BacMet Predicted database'
