FlgT_C is the C-terminal domain of a family of flagellar proteins that make up part of the basal body of the flagellum. The flagellum is a large macromolecular assembly composed of three major parts: the basal body, the hook, and the filament. The basal body has two unique ring structures, the T ring and the H ring. FlgT is required to form and stabilise both ring structures. FlgT_C is not essential but stabilises the H-ring structure. [1].
