QA-Y — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_05734 (QA-Y) on Aspergillus nidulans chromosome 5 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 plasmalemma and membrane. The gene is linked to quinate permease function in related genes in other species, though these associations are not established for QA-Y itself.
