ProP is a bacterial membrane protein that is a member of the major facilitator superfamily. It functions as an osmosensory and osmoregulatory transporter, responding to changes in osmotic pressure by importing compatible solutes such as proline or glycine betaine;[1] most substrates for ProP are zwitterions.[2] The activity of ProP increases with osmotic pressure in cells and proteoliposomes.[3][4] ProP is a symporter of hydrogen ions and compatible solutes, and is responsive to potassium concentrations.[2]
Activity of ProP has been associated with the ability of pathogenic E. coli to colonize the urinary tract.[3]
