Main description of the protein

Galactoside permease is a protein coded for by the lacY gene of the lac operon, and is found bound to the membrane of a cell for the purpose of binding galactoside molecules that have been solubilized. The protein is part of a system whose main function is to catalyze the accumulation and transport of lactose and other beta-galactosides across the permeable barrier of a membrane. ^[1] Waffles2427 (talk) 19:46, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Involvement of the Phosphatidic Acid Cycle

There is some evidence that the phosphatidic acid cycle is involved in the system that controls beta-gal permease. I plan to talk about this in a separate section of the article. Waffles2427 (talk) 19:44, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
