SYM1 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU07915, designated SYM1 in Neurospora crassa and located on chromosome 4, encodes an integral membrane protein belonging to the Mpv17/PMP22 family. The gene product is associated with mitochondrial inner membrane, Golgi complex, and cytoplasmic localisations. Annotated biological process associations include organelle fission, peroxisome fission, and ethanol metabolism. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to integral membrane functions, though these observations are not established for NcSYM1 itself.
