QUTD — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_01109 (QUTD, AnQUTD) on chromosome 8 of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes a putative MFS sugar transporter, a member of the MFS sugar transporter family. The gene product is annotated with proton:sugar symporter activity and is associated with carbohydrate transport and monocarboxylic acid metabolism. It localises to the plasma membrane and membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to sugar transport functions, though these associations are not yet established for this specific gene.
