 Exfoliatin

Exfoliatin is a "Staphylococcus aureus" exotoxin that causes a blistering of the skin known as staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome, usually in infants.Exfoliatins are glutamate-specific serine proteases highly specific to desmoglein I, a cadherin (adhesion protein) in the desmosomes of the stratum granulosum that facilitates intercellular adhesion between keratinocytes.
