Streptococcal hemagglutinin

UniProtKB accession:  A8AWU7

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  A cell wall protein involved with PadA in host cell interactions required for colonization and pathogensis (Probable) (PubMed:19884334, PubMed:27616700). Mediates hemagglutination and adherence to ghst glycoproteins (PubMed:11854202). Recognizes fetuin-A (AHSG), a highly glycosylated human plasma protein, also involved in recognition of human platelets, probably via platelet glycoprotein Ib alpha (GP1BA) (PubMed:19884334). Acts in concert with PadA to promote binding to glycosylated human fibronectin (FN1) and vitronectin (VTN), and biofilm formation. Plays a major role in fibronectin and vitronectin binding; binding is mediated by glycosylated regions. Probably mediates interaction of PadA with resting platelets (PubMed:27616700).
