glfB — Aspergillus fumigatus

Summary

AFU3G12700 (symbol glfB) on Aspergillus fumigatus chromosome 3 encodes a protein with a Sugar_P_trans_dom and TPT_transporter domain, and antiporter activity, localised to the Golgi complex and ER membrane. The gene is associated with beta-glucan anabolism, glucan anabolism, membrane transport, spore germination, sporulation, and morphogenesis. Related genes in other species, including Fusarium oxysporum and Verticillium dahliae, encode DUF250 domain membrane proteins, though this has not been established for glfB itself.
