The Bacteroides constitute the major population of human intestinal microbiota. They are beneficial to the humans in terms of metabolism, development, and immunity. They play roles in recycling of bile acids, provision of short-chain fatty acids to the host and angiogenesis.
Contains tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domains that mediate protein-protein interactions.

Experimentally Validated Glycosite(s) in Full Length Protein
Translation of the protein seems to occur seven codons upstream of the start codon (Met) with a predicted signal peptide (by LipoP) for periplasmic translocation. Therefore, in full length protein sequence the glycosylated residue position should be T87, T178 and T231.
