mtr — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU06619 (mtr) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 4 encodes a transmembrane protein with L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with neutral amino acid transport, amino acid membrane transport, and indole anabolism, as well as blue light response, DNA damage tolerance, homologous recombination, DNA replication, and methylation. It is also linked to the MTR gene and localised to the membrane. Related genes in other species connect the family to amino acid permease and tyrosinase domains, though these associations are not established for this gene.
