Function
AEP1_DANRE Pore-forming protein which might play a role in host defense. Exists as an antiparallel dimer in solution. Can also assemble into an octameric pore-like structure spanning the cell membrane. Oligomerization may be triggered by binding of the jacalin-type lectin domain to high-mannose cell-surface proteoglycans, and also requires a low pH environment. In vitro, shows high binding affinity for S.cerevisiae mannan and human HIV virus glycoprotein gp120.[1]
