UniProtKB description:  Forms a tunnel that spans the entire periplasmic space (PubMed:28388411, PubMed:31870848, PubMed:32359438). Is probably involved in the transport of lipids between the inner membrane and the outer membrane through the tunnel (PubMed:28388411, PubMed:31870848, PubMed:32359438). Forms a dynamic tunnel sufficiently long to mediate lipid transport directly between the two membranes without the need for a shuttle protein (PubMed:32359438). Binds phospholipids (PubMed:28388411, PubMed:31870848, PubMed:32359438). Lipids bind inside the tunnel (PubMed:32359438). Required for outer membrane homeostasis (PubMed:28819315). Contributes to membrane integrity (PubMed:27795327).
