Abstract excerpt
The Helicobacter pylori-produced cytotoxin VacA induces intracellular vacuolation. The formed vacuole is assumed to be a hybrid of late endosome and lysosome. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of VacA-induced vacuolation, we examined the participation of syntaxin 7 in the human gastric epithel...
