Rv2190c, an NlpC/P60 family protein, is required for full virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiologic agent of tuberculosis (TB) possesses at least five genes predicted to encode proteins with NlpC/P60 hydrolase domains, including the relatively uncharacterized Rv2190c.
