GLFB — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU01456 (symbol GLFB, NcGLFB) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 5 encodes a DUF250 domain membrane protein with a sugar phosphate transporter domain and antiporter activity. The gene is associated with membrane transport and syngamy, and its product localises to the Golgi complex and ER membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to sugar phosphate transport, though these associations are not established for NcGLFB itself. The gene is also connected to the GLFB locus, which centres on the DUF250 domain.
