1.B.39.1.2
OCT plasmid-encoded AlkL outer membrane cation-selective porin, (probably transports alkanes) (van Beilen et al., 1992).  Has been used for the uptake of dodecanoic acid methyl ester (DAME) in E. coli for the production of  12-aminododecanoic acid methyl ester (ADAME), a building block for the high-performance polymer Nylon 12 (Ladkau et al. 2016).
