UniProt functional annotation for P00779



	UniProt functional annotation for P00779

UniProt code: P00779.

Organism: Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (Streptococcus equisimilis).

Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Lactobacillales; Streptococcaceae; Streptococcus.

Function: This protein is not a protease, but it activates plasminogen by complexing with it. As a potential virulence factor, it is thought to prevent the formation of effective fibrin barriers around the site of infection, thereby contributing to the invasiveness of the cells.
