DESCRIPTION

Also known as EXFAB_COTJA, EXFAB. Siderocalin-like lipocalin tightly binding a variety of bacterial ferric siderophores, also binds long-chain unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, oleic acid, arachidonic acid and, with a lower affinity, long chain saturated fatty acids such as steraic acid. May act as an antibacterial factor, through dual ligand specificity, both as a siderophore-sequestrating molecule and a lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) sensor. Monomer.
