The Cytohemolysin (CHL) Family [Function: Non-specific diffusion channels] Seed alignment | Full alignment | TC-DB page

Hemolysin, a heptameric porin, is secreted by Vibrio cholerae. The heptamer comprises a ring-like structure with an outer diameter of 135 Å. The channel pore consists of an upper large vestibule formed by ß prism and cytolysin domains, and the stem domains which form a 14-strand ß barrel.
