Function
Zinc metalloproteinase which cleaves human immunoglobulin A1 (IgA1) in the hinge region, rendering it less efficient in coating the surface of colonizing or invading pneumococci. May be responsible for pneumococcal infection and is potentially involved in distinct stages of pneumococcal disease.
