Function

YADA2_YEREN Collagen-binding outer membrane protein forming a fibrillar matrix on the bacterial cell surface. Promotes initial attachment and invasion of eukaryotic cells. Also protects the bacteria by being responsible for agglutination, serum resistance, complement inactivation and phagocytosis resistance.[1] [2]
