QA-Y — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_03220 (QA-Y) in Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes a putative MFS quinate transporter, belonging to the MFS sugar transporter family with proton:sugar symporter activity. It is associated with monocarboxylic acid metabolism and carbohydrate transport, and localises to the plasma membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to quinate permease function and sugar transport, though these roles are not directly established in A. nidulans.
