== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HLA_STAAU HLA_STAAU] Alpha-toxin binds to the membrane of eukaryotic cells resulting in the release of low-molecular weight molecules and leading to an eventual osmotic lysis. Heptamer oligomerization and pore formation is required for lytic activity.
