Outer Membrane Protein I (OprI)

Target
OprI
Molecular classification
Lipoprotein, Outer membrane protein
01

Overview

Outer membrane protein I (OprI) is a small, highly conserved lipoprotein found in the outer membrane of *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*. It plays a significant role in the bacterium’s interaction with host defense mechanisms, serving as a receptor for cationic antimicrobial peptides, and contributes to cell envelope stability. It is considered a potential vaccine candidate.
