Function
Pore-forming protein that causes membrane permeabilization and pyroptosis. Released upon cleavage by S.pyogenes effector protein SpeB, and binds to membrane inner leaflet lipids. Homooligomerizes within the membrane and forms pores of 10-15 nanometers (nm) of inner diameter, triggering pyroptosis.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed predominantly in the gastrointestinal tract and, at a lower level, in the skin. Also detected in mammary gland. In the gastrointestinal tract, mainly expressed in differentiated cells, including the differentiated cell layer of esophagus and mucus-secreting pit cells of the gastric epithelium. Down-regulated in gastric cancer cells
