PorA Outer Membrane Vesicle Protein P1.4 (PorA P1.4)

Target
PorA P1.4
Molecular classification
Porin, Outer membrane protein
01

Overview

PorA outer membrane vesicle protein P1.4 is a trimeric beta-barrel porin from *N. meningitidis*, crucial for solute transport across the bacterial outer membrane while serving as a dominant surface antigen recognized by the human immune system—especially when delivered via natural or engineered OMVs for vaccine purposes.
