Effector that, due to the lack of a histidine residue at position 79, is not able to induce cell death in tomato, tobacco, eggplant, potato, or in A.thaliana. The RxLR-dEER motif acts to carry the protein into the host cell cytoplasm through binding to cell surface phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate. Avh238 is highly polymorphic among P.sojae isolates. Belongs to the RxLR effector family.
