Plays an important role inthe biofilm formation and pathogenesis of C.albicans infections.Necessary for C.albicans to bind to N-cadherin on endothelial cells andE-cadherin on oral epithelial cells and subsequent endocytosis by thesecells. During disseminated infection, mediates initial trafficking tothe brain and renal cortex and contributes to fungal persistence in thekidneys. ALS3 Candida albicans modified SN152 30296253
