CC   -!- FUNCTION: Involved in mercury resistance. Probably transfers a mercuric
CC       ion from the periplasmic Hg(2+)-binding protein MerP to the cytoplasmic
CC       mercuric reductase MerA. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04140}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell inner membrane {ECO:0000305}; Multi-pass
CC       membrane protein {ECO:0000255}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the MerT family. {ECO:0000305}.
