Function Signal transducer for aerotaxis. The aerotactic response is the accumulation of cells around air bubbles. The nature of the sensory stimulus detected by this protein is the proton motive force or cellular redox state. It uses a FAD prosthetic group as a redox sensor to monitor oxygen levels. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9190831, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9380671}.
Subcellular Location Cell inner membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22380631}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22380631}. Note=Predominantly localized to one cell pole in mid-to-late exponential phase, with a few smaller foci elsewhere in the cell.
