Secreted by Staphylococcus aureus, this toxin causes cell death by binding with the outer membrane, with subsequent oligomerization of the toxin monomer and water-filled channels.
These are responsible for osmotic phenomena, cell depolarization, and loss of vital molecules (v.gr.
ATP), leading to its demise.
