CC   -!- FUNCTION: Forms a complex at the inner spore membrane which acts as a
CC       receptor for L-alanine, thus is involved in the stimulation of
CC       germination in response to alanine. Can stimulate germination in the
CC       absence of GerD and GerK gene products (fructose and glucose receptors,
CC       respectively), but the response is improved in their presence.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane {ECO:0000305}; Lipid-anchor
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed in the forespore compartment of the
CC       developing sporangium.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the GerABKC lipoprotein family. {ECO:0000305}.
