Definition of lacY

• Curated sequence P02920: Lactose permease; Lactose-proton symport. β- and α-galactopyranoside:H+. lactose permease. lactose permease
• Curated sequence P96517: Melibiose permease; Melibiose transporter MelY. Melibiose:H+ symporter, MelY (Shinnick et al., 2003). Transports melibiose and lactose, but not TMG, which does however bind to the transporter
