This is an <scene name='86/861614/Protein_view_1/3'>epithelial adhesion protein (Epa)</scene>, specifically Epa9, it binds to a host cell (human epithelial cell) to provide a host cell recognition to invade the host. In this case, this epithelial adhesion belongs to the fungus Candida glabrata. This fungus has more than just one Epa to create host cell recognition, it has over 20 Epa's. These proteins can adhere Candida glabrata to a human epithelial cell by specifically binding to different carbohydrates on the outside of the cell. This interaction between the Epas and the carbohydrates is what creates the adhesion for host cell recognition. | This is an <scene name='86/861614/Protein_view_1/3'>epithelial adhesion protein (Epa)</scene>, specifically Epa9, it binds to a host cell (human epithelial cell) to provide a host cell recognition to invade the host<ref>PMID:32669365</ref>.
