| ProGP ID | ProGP38 (VGP (74 kDa)) |
| Validation Status | Uncharacterized |
| Organism Information | |
| Organism Name | Myxococcus xanthus |
| Domain | Bacteria |
| Classification | Phylum : Proteobacteria Class : Deltaproteobacteria Orders : Myxococcales Suborder : Cystobacterineae Family : Myxococcaceae Genus : Myxococcus Species : xanthus |
| Taxonomic ID (NCBI) | 34 |
| Genome Information | |
| GenBank | AF098938 |
| EMBL | AF098938 |
| Protein Information | |
| Protein Name | VGP (74 kDa) |
| Subcellular Location | Membrane (peripheral) |
| Function | Its surface location and abundance suggest that VGP plays a role in vegetative swarming, because it appears primarily during growth of the organism and is lost in the course of development. May play an important role in the social behavior. |
| Glycosylation Status | |
| Technique(s) used for Glycosylation Detection | PAS-staining and Dolichos lectin affinity binding. |
| Glycan Information | |
| Glycan Annotation | Carbohydrate moiety (~13.5% of the weight of the VGP) is primarily comprised of neutral sugars and smaller amounts of hexosamines and uronic acids. Terminal N-acetylgalactosamine residues. |
