UniProtKB accession:  P06575

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of a binary toxin active against Culex and some Aedes mosquito larvae; about 1000-fold more toxic against C.quinquefasciatus than A.aegypti (Probable) (Ref.10, PubMed:8419297). This subunit alone is active against C.quinquefasciatus, Anopheles gambiae, A.stephensi and Aedes aegypti mosquito cell lines; non Culex mosquitoes are less sensitive to the toxin (PubMed:2886104) (Probable). Binary toxin internalization into host gut cells requires both proteins (By similarity).
