Protein
Extent of cell elongation protein 1
Organism
Candida albicans (strain SC5314 / ATCC MYA-2876)
Function
Candidalysin ECE1-III: Acts as a cytolytic pepdide toxin that directly damages host epithelial membranes, triggers a danger response signaling pathway and activates epithelial immunity (PubMed:27027296). Probably acts similarly to cationic antimicrobial peptide toxins, inducing lesions after binding to target cell membranes and causing an inward current associated with calcium influx (PubMed:27027296).
