Structural highlights
FunctionAERA_AERHY Aerolysin is a cytolytic toxin exported by the Gram negative Aeromonas bacteria. The mature toxin binds to eukaryotic cells and aggregates to form holes approximately 3 nm in diameter, leading to destruction of the membrane permeability barrier and osmotic lysis. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
