HSP12 — Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288c

Summary

YFL014W (HSP12) on chromosome VI of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a protein of the HSP9/HSP12 family. The gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes, including response to desiccation, cell wall biogenesis, biofilm formation, ethanol fermentation, iron transport, and NADP metabolism. It has been linked to traits such as oleic acid content, cell membrane stability, hydrogen peroxide content, sugar content, biomass yield, and oxidative stress. Phenotypic associations include decreased cold and heat sensitivity, increased flocculation and fermentative metabolism, abnormal cell wall and cellular morphology, altered chemical compound accumulation, and changes in replicative lifespan and stress resistance. The gene is also associated with decreased invasive growth and vegetative growth, as well as altered metal resistance.
