Overview
PsaA is a multi-functional lipoprotein detected on all known serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae. This lipoprotein belongs to the ABC-type transport protein complex that transports Mn2+. PsaA is also an adhesion factor that plays a major role in pneumococcal attachment to the host cell and virulence.
