ExbD has a single transmembrane domain, with residues 1 to 22 on the cytoplasmic side, 23 to 43 within the cytoplasmic membrane and 44 to 141 in the periplasm (see [[Periplasmic Domain of ExbD]]).<ref name='Kampfenkel'>PMID: 1644779</ref>

ExbD has been shown to be approximately 25% identical and 70% similar to the [[TolR]] sequence<ref name='Kampfenkel'>PMID: 1644779</ref>, it can be assumed that these two proteins will have a similar arrangement of their sequences.  It has also been shown that TolR can replace the function of an ExbD mutant just as [[TolQ]] can with ExbB, suggesting an evolutionary link between the two complexes.
