ProGlyProt ID BU263 Organism Information Organism Name Staphylococcus aureus Domain Bacteria Classification Family: Staphylococcaceae Order: Bacillales Class: Bacilli (or Firmibacteria) Division or phylum: "Firmicutes" Taxonomic ID (NCBI) Genome Sequence (s) GeneBank EMBL Gene Information Gene Name NCBI Gene ID Protein Information Protein Name Protein A (cell wall glycoprotein) UniProtKB/SwissProt ID NCBI RefSeq EMBL-CDS UniProtKB Sequence Sequence length Subcellular Location Cell wall Function Possess a number of immunomodulatory and antitumor properties. Suppression of the primary antibody response by PA helps in tumor regression by reducing the soluble immunosuppressive immune complexes.
