Perforin-like protein 1

UniProtKB accession:  V5BCL0

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Pore-forming protein that promotes parasite exit from host cells: mediates formation of a pore in the parasitophorous vacuolar membrane, leading to membrane permeabilization, thereby facilitating parasite egress from host cells (PubMed:19095897, PubMed:30513119, PubMed:29750191). May also form a pore in the host plasma membrane (PubMed:19095897). Preferentially binds inner leaflet lipids, such as phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) or phosphatidylserine (PS) (PubMed:30513119).
