aspHS — Aspergillus fumigatus

Summary

AFU3G00590, symbol aspHS in Aspergillus fumigatus on chromosome 3, encodes an aegerolysin-type protein. The product is annotated with LDL-binding molecular function and is associated with haemolysis in the host, digestion, and mycotoxin anabolism. It is localised to the cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species, including hemolysins and the OlyA6 family, link the aegerolysin family to membrane interaction and pore formation, though these activities are not established for this gene. The gene is also connected to the ASPHS reference.
