Complement regulator-acquiring surface protein


Function

Complement regulator-acquiring surface protein (CRASP) are proteins of the Lyme-disease causing bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi which bind to several human extracellular matrix proteins. For details on CRASP-1 see Borrelia burgdorferi Complement Regulator-Acquiring Surface Protein 1.[1][2]

Disease

Lyme-disease adhesion factors.
