Target intelligence / Profile preview
Staphylococcus epidermidis Proteases (S. epidermidis Proteases)
- Target
- S. epidermidis Proteases
- Molecular classification
- Enzyme, Protease, Serine Protease, Cysteine Protease, Metalloprotease
01
Overview
Staphylococcus epidermidis secretes several extracellular proteases, including Esp, EcpA, and SepA, that function as toxins and virulence factors. These enzymes play roles in immune modulation, biofilm formation/disassembly, skin barrier disruption, and interspecies competition, contributing to the pathogenesis of S. epidermidis infections and inflammatory skin conditions.
