Porcine aminopeptidase N binds to F4+ enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli fimbriae
F4+ enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains cause diarrheal disease in neonatal and post-weaned piglets. Several different host receptors for F4 fimbriae have been described, with porcine aminopeptidase N (APN) reported most recently. The FaeG subunit is essential for the binding of the thre...
