rcd-1-1 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU05712, symbol rcd-1-1, on Neurospora crassa chromosome 3 encodes a protein with wide pore channel activity and protein heterodimerization activity. The gene is associated with programmed cell death, cell death, and innate immunity, and its product localizes to the plasmalemma and cytoplasm. Studies of the related gene rcd-1-2 in other species link the family to similar cellular processes.
