fcyB — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_07967 (fcyB) on chromosome 2 of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes a putative nucleoside transporter belonging to the purine-cytosine permease family (Pur-cyt_permease_Fcy2/21/22). The gene product is associated with transmembrane transporter activity and localises to the plasmalemma. Annotated biological process associations include purine base transport, nucleobase transport, endocytosis, and response to ammonia. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to nucleoside transport, though this is not established for fcyB itself.
