Function

LUKEV_STAA8 Part of a bi-component leucotoxin that acts by forming pores in the membrane of the target cells. The activity of LukEv-LukDv to rabbit leukocytes is similar to that of the Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL). LukEv-LukDv is hemolytic to rabbit red blood cells although the activity is only 8% of gamma-hemolysin.[1]
