QA-Y — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_01865 (QA-Y) in Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes a putative MFS sugar transporter with proton:sugar symporter activity, as indicated by its annotated molecular function. The protein belongs to the MFS sugar transporter family and is localised to the plasma membrane. The gene is associated with carbohydrate transport and monocarboxylic acid metabolism. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to quinate permease and MFS sugar transporters, though these specific roles are not established for QA-Y itself.
