LamB porin 
Structure of maltoporin from Salmonella typhimurium.[1] Identifiers Symbol LamB Pfam PF02264 InterPro IPR003192 SCOP 2mpr TCDB 1.B.3 OPM family 32 OPM protein 2mpr Available protein structures: Pfam structures PDB RCSB PDB; PDBe PDBsum structure summary Maltoporins (or LamB porins) are a family of outer membrane proteins. Maltoporin forms a trimeric structure which facilitates the diffusion of maltodextrins across the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. The membrane channel is formed by an antiparallel beta-barrel.[2]
