Q5A8N2 Candidapepsin-4 Secreted aspartic peptidases (SAPs) are a group of ten acidichydrolases considered as key virulence factors. These enzymes supplythe fungus with nutrient amino acids as well as are able to degrade theselected host's proteins involved in the immune defense. Activates hostsystemic immunity. During infection, plays an important role inpenetration into deeper tissues and interaction with host defense.Moreover, acts toward human hemoglobin though limited proteolysis togenerate a variety of antimicrobial hemocidins, enabling to competewith the other microorganisms of the same physiological niche using themicrobicidal peptides generated from the host protein SAP4 Candida albicans modified SN152 30296253
