flagellin

flagellin

[flaj´ĕ-lin]

a protein (mol. wt. approximately 40,000) occurring in the flagella of bacteria, which is composed of subunits arranged in several-stranded helix formation somewhat resembling myosin in structure, and sometimes containing ε-N-methyl lysine. Its composition varies with the species; thus flagellin antibodies are species specific.

flag·el·lin

(flaj'ĕ-lin),

Any member of a class of proteins that constitue subunits of the flagella and that contain the amino acid ε-N-methyllysine.
