Protein
F7-2 fimbrial protein
Organism
Escherichia coli O6:H1 (strain CFT073 / ATCC 700928 / UPEC)
Function
Fimbriae (also called pili), polar filaments radiating from the surface of the bacterium to a length of 0.5-1.5 micrometers and numbering 100-300 per cell, enable bacteria to colonize the epithelium of specific host organs.
