glaA — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_11143 (glaA) on chromosome 7 of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes a glucoamylase, a starch-binding enzyme with glucoamylase activity (EC 3.2.1.3) that belongs to the GH15-like and CBM20 domain families. The gene is associated with starch breakdown, glycogenolysis, polysaccharide metabolism, carbon catabolite repression, protein processing, secretion, sporulation, and the meiotic cell cycle. The encoded protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, and fungal-type vacuole.
