Functional information

Function Uniprot Transcriptional repressor that controls expression of the genes required for the catabolism of sialic acids. Represses expression of the nanATEK-yhcH, nanCMS and yjhBC operons. Acts by binding directly to the Nan box, a region of approximately 30 bp covering the promoter region.
Role Activator; Repressor
Protein family GntR
