Function
Probably part of a deoxycholate transport system. Its expression in the presence of deoxycholate in a ygiS deletion mutant increases intracellular deoxycholate levels and decreases cell growth; higher expression in the presence of deoxycholate inhibits cell growth completely. Bile acid detergents such as deoxycholate are important for host defense against bacterial growth in the gall bladder and duodenum.
