FunctionFunction
Anthrax edema factor (EF) is an enzyme which is part of the Bacillus anthracis anthrax toxin. The full anthrax toxin is composed of a cell-binding protein (protective antigen), lethal factor and EF. The EF is a calcium- and calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase. The binding of calmodulin to EF changes it from its non-active form to the active one.
