ham-6 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU02767, designated ham-6 in Neurospora crassa on chromosome 1, encodes a DUF7727 domain-containing protein. The gene is associated with cell-cell fusion, membrane fusion, hyphal growth, cell communication, and signal transduction, based on ontology annotations. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to similar processes, though these associations are not established for N. crassa itself. The product's precise molecular function remains uncharacterized.
