CTR1 — Candida albicans

Summary

C6_00790C_A, the CTR1 gene on chromosome 6 of Candida albicans, encodes a copper transporter belonging to the Cop_transporter family. The gene product is annotated with copper ion transmembrane transporter activity and is localized to the plasmalemma. CTR1 is associated with copper ion transport, copper ion import, response to copper, iron ion membrane transport, and copper ion membrane transport. It has also been linked to host invasion, morphogenesis, chromatin modeling, and homeostasis. Additionally, CTR1 is associated with disseminated candidiasis in a Mus musculus model.
