Protein
GlcNAc-binding protein A
Organism
Vibrio cholerae serotype O1 (strain ATCC 39315 / El Tor Inaba N16961)
Function
Probably interacts with GlcNAc residues. May promote attachment to both epithelial cell surfaces and chitin. This function enhances bacterial colonization in the gastrointestinal tract and may also be important in the environment by augment colonization of chitinous structures, leading to improved survival. Promotes bacterial attachment to, and colonization of, zooplankton in the aquatic ecosystem.
Similarity
Belongs to the GbpA family.
