Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Tip subunit of the minor fimbriae. These filamentous pili are attached to the cell surface; they mediate biofilm formation, adhesion onto host cells and onto other bacteria that are part of the oral microbiome (PubMed:19589838, PubMed:26001707). They play an important role in invasion of periodontal tissues and are recognized as major virulence factors (Probable).
