Definition | HBL-L2 is a component of Hemolysin BL, a membrane-lytic toxin from Bacillus cereus. HBL-B first binds to the cell membrane, followed by the ordered recruitment of first L1 and then L2.The membrane-associated HBL components form a membrane attack complex that causes lysis by a colloid osmotic mechanism |
