description: AlaE is a family of Gram-negative amino-acid transporters. It is not entirely clear why bacteria
  export metabolites but recent studies have shown that many excrete alanine. AlaE is likely to be the
  exporter protein for L-alanine. UniProtKB:A8ANM6, UniProt:G4R961 and UniProt:H5SVY7 are classified as
  putative alanine exporters [[cite:PUB00060685]].
