WH11 — Candida albicans

Summary

C2_05180W_A (WH11) on Candida albicans chromosome 2 encodes a member of the HSP9_HSP12 family and is annotated with lipid-binding molecular function. The gene is associated with phenotypic switching, cell morphogenesis, filamentous growth, mating, and single-species biofilm formation on inanimate substrate. Its product localises to the yeast-form and hyphal cell walls, as well as the cytoplasm and cytosol.
