Function

CBIO_RHOCB Part of the energy-coupling factor (ECF) transporter complex CbiMNOQ involved in cobalt import. The complex confers cobalt uptake upon expression in E.coli; can also transport nickel with a very low affinity. Presumably responsible for energy coupling to the transport system.^{[1] [2]}
