Candidalysin
Catalog No. A28905

Candidalysin is a cytolytic peptide toxin derived from the pathogenic fungus Candida albicans, primarily targeting epithelial cells. This peptide is known for its ability to activate the EGFR-MAPK signaling pathway, which leads to increased expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and calcium influx, as well as modulation of the c-Fos transcription factor through p38 MAPK and ERK1/2. Candidalysin plays a critical role in both mucosal and systemic infections by stimulating NLRP3 inflammasome activation, promoting inflammatory responses, neutrophil recruitment, and Th17 immunity. Additionally, it induces lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, resulting in membrane damage and cytotoxicity.
