CC   -!- FUNCTION: Involved in mercury resistance. Acts as a mercury scavenger
CC       that specifically binds to a mercuric ion in the periplasm and probably
CC       passes it to the cytoplasmic mercuric reductase MerA via the mercuric
CC       transport protein MerT. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04129}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Monomer. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P13113}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Periplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P13113}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the MerP family. {ECO:0000305}.
