paaT — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_08993 (paaT) on chromosome 7 of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) domain-containing protein with spermidine and spermine transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with spermine and spermidine transport, as well as penicillin anabolism, pexophagy, secretion, and membrane transport. Its product localizes to the peroxisome membrane and the plasma membrane. The gene is also connected to tndD, a related gene in A. nidulans.
