| Type: | Family | Name: | Cyanate transport system protein |
| Description: | This entry includes the cyanate transport protein CynX. Proteins expressed from the the cyn operon (indluding cynT, cynX, and cynS) in Escherichia coli are believed to transport cyanate into the cell so it can be metabolized into ammonia and bicarbonate []. This process is used to overcome the toxicity of environmental cyanate. CynT is a cyanate permease, CynS is a cyanase, while the function of the CynX is unknown [, ]. | Short Name: | Cyan_transport |
