LAC12 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU00809 (LAC12) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 1 encodes a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) monosaccharide transporter with proton:sugar symporter activity. The gene is associated with carbohydrate transport and monocarboxylic acid metabolism, and its product localises to the plasma membrane. Related genes in other species are linked to lactose permease function and monosaccharide transport, though these associations are not established for LAC12 itself.
