Structural highlights
Function[ALS3_CANAX] Cell surface adhesion protein which mediates both yeast-to-host tissue adherence and yeast aggregation. Plays an important role in the pathogenesis of C.albicans infections. Necessary for C.albicans to bind to N-cadherin on endothelial cells and E-cadherin on oral epithelial cells and subsequent endocytosis by these cells (By similarity). |
