mdr3 — Aspergillus fumigatus

Summary

AFU3G03500 (symbol mdr3) on Aspergillus fumigatus chromosome 3 encodes a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporter with ammonium channel activity and transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with ammonium import across the plasma membrane, carbohydrate metabolism, cell growth, and cell cycle processes. The encoded protein localises to the endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane, and membrane. The gene is also connected to the MDR3 and terJ loci.
