Shiga toxin subunit A

UniProtKB accession:  Q9FBI2

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  The A subunit is responsible for inhibiting protein synthesis through the catalytic inactivation of 60S ribosomal subunits. After endocytosis, the A subunit is cleaved by furin in two fragments, A1 and A2: A1 is the catalytically active fragment, and A2 is essential for holotoxin assembly with the B subunits.
