The BhlA Holin Family (TC# 1.E.27) is named after putative holin-like peptides encoded in bacteria with bacteriocin similarities.
BhlA proteins are generally about 67 to 80 amino acyl residues (aas) in length and exhibit a single N-terminal transmembrane segment (TMS).
It has an antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria.
[1][2] A representative list of proteins belonging to this family can be found in the Transporter Classification Database.
