Enolase

UniProtKB accession:  Q97QS2

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the reversible conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate into phosphoenolpyruvate. It is essential for the degradation of carbohydrates via glycolysis. Binds plasminogen when expressed at the bacterial cell surface, potentially allowing the bacterium to acquire surface-associated proteolytic activity, which in turn contributes to the degradation of the extracellular matrix and transmigration of the bacteria.
