== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/GTFC_STRMU GTFC_STRMU] Production of extracellular glucans, that are thought to play a key role in the development of the dental plaque because of their ability to adhere to smooth surfaces and mediate the aggregation of bacterial cells and food debris.
