alcC — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_00024 (alcC) on chromosome 8 of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes an enoyl reductase domain-containing protein with aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity and oxidoreductase activity acting on NAD(P)H, and it binds zinc. The gene is associated with ethanol fermentation and fermentation processes, and its product localises to the cytoplasm. It is linked to the related genes alcA and ADH2, and to xdhA. Related genes in other species connect the family to alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) and N-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinol dehydrogenase activity, as well as to polyketide synthase enoyl reductase domains.
