UniProt functional annotation for P08191

UniProt code: P08191.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Involved in regulation of length and mediation of adhesion of type 1 fimbriae (but not necessary for the production of fimbriae). Adhesin responsible for the binding to D-mannose. It is laterally positioned at intervals in the structure of the type 1 fimbriae. In order to integrate FimH in the fimbriae FimF and FimG are needed. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1971261}.
 
Subcellular location: Fimbrium {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1971261}.
Similarity: Belongs to the fimbrial protein family. {ECO:0000305}.
