Accession VIRO:0000153
Synonym(s)hlyA VCC
DefinitionCoded by the hlyA gene. Vibrio cholerae cytolysin (VCC) is a pore-forming toxin that acts on the target cells by forming transmembrane oligomeric β-barrel pores, thereby leading to permeabilization of the target cell membranes and as a result significantly facilitates intestinal colonization in mouse models
