Target intelligence / Profile preview

Fungal surface protein (FSP)

Target: FSP
Molecular classification: Other (includes various types of surface proteins and enzymes)

Overview

Fungal surface proteins are critical components of the fungal cell wall, involved in maintaining cell wall integrity, facilitating host-fungus interactions, and contributing to biofilm formation. They are not typically considered therapeutic targets in isolation but can be targets for developing antifungal therapies. Examples include proteins like Als family and Sap proteins in *Candida albicans*.

Other names: Surface proteins of fungifungal cell wall proteins

Mechanism of action

Generally involves disrupting cell wall integrity or interfering with host-pathogen interactions.

Biological functions

Safety considerations

Therapeutic challenges include the potential for drug resistance and off-target effects.

Interacting drugs

Generally, drugs targeting fungal surface proteins are under investigation, but specific drugs are not well-documented due to the broad nature of the target.

Biomarkers

Not well-defined for this broad category.
