mfsC — Aspergillus fumigatus

Summary

AFU1G03200 (symbol mfsC) on Aspergillus fumigatus chromosome 1 encodes a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporter. The gene product is annotated with ammonium channel activity and transmembrane transporter activity, and is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane, and membrane. It is associated with ammonium import across the plasma membrane and ergosterol anabolism. The gene has also been connected to salt tolerance (SALTTL).
