Function
OLYA6_PLEOS Has hemolytic activity against bovine erythrocytes at nanomolar concentrations in vitro. Promotes active pleurotolysin B (PlyB)-dependent permeabilization of membranes rich in cholesterol and sphingomyelin. May play an important role in the initial phase of fungal fruiting.[1] [2]
