QA-Y — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_00938 (QA-Y) on Aspergillus nidulans chromosome 8 encodes a putative MFS quinate transporter, a member of the MFS sugar transporter family with proton:sugar symporter activity. The gene is associated with monocarboxylic acid metabolism and carbohydrate transport, and its product localises to the plasma membrane. Related genes in other species are linked to quinate permease function and sugar transport. The gene is also known by the symbols HGT14, HGT16, ASD-3, QUTD, and HGT17.
