+ | '''BtuB''' or '''vitamin B12 receptor''' or '''outer membrane cobalamin transporter''' is an outer membrane receptor found in a variety of bacteria, such as ''E. coli''. BtuB transports vitamin B12 across the membrane of gram-negative bacteria. The transport is achieved with high affinity by the collaboration of BtuB and the periplasmic protein TonB. <ref>PMID:14499604</ref> As an essential receptor for the cell that is constitutively expressed, it is an ideal target to be parasitized, a feature exploited by a variety of proteins such as [[Colicin]]s. | ||
