== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/GVPA_DOLFA GVPA_DOLFA] Gas vesicles (GV) are hollow, gas filled proteinaceous nanostructures found in some microorganisms. During planktonic growth they allow positioning of the organism at a favorable depth for light or nutrient acquisition. GVs are highly permeable to gas (Ref.7). GvpA forms the protein shell (PubMed:14695294, PubMed:1527496, PubMed:20858439, PubMed:22147705, PubMed:3098234, PubMed:3141741, PubMed:6409075, Ref.5). The ratio of GvpA:GvpC is estimated to be 33:1 and more recently 25:1 (PubMed:3141741, PubMed:8254305).<ref>PMID:14695294</ref> <ref>PMID:1527496</ref> <ref>PMID:20858439</ref> <ref>PMID:22147705</ref> <ref>PMID:3098234</ref> <ref>PMID:3141741</ref> <ref>PMID:6409075</ref> <ref>PMID:8254305</ref> <ref>PMID:184286</ref> <ref>PMID:20858439</ref> <ref>PMID:3141741</ref>
