Identification
Name: L-Arabinose
Description:L-Arabinose is a pentose with a sweet taste. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, it is involved in the catabolism of arabinose, a process directed by the L-arabinose operon. This process is activated in the presence of arabinose and the absence of glucose. (Wikipedia)

Transporters

General function:
Involved in transmembrane transport
Specific function:
Involved in the efflux of sugars. The physiological role may be the reduction of the intracellular concentration of toxic sugars or sugar metabolites. Transports L-arabinose and to a lesser extent IPTG. Seems to contribute to the control of the arabinose regulon
