TRK1 — Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288c

Summary

YJL129C, also known as TRK1, encodes a protein with high-affinity potassium ion transmembrane transporter activity, chloride transmembrane transporter activity, and chloride channel activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288c. TRK1 is associated with potassium ion import across the plasma membrane, cellular potassium ion homeostasis, regulation of membrane potential, and cell volume homeostasis. It is linked to traits including potassium uptake and content, sodium uptake, salt sensitivity, acid sensitivity, turgor pressure, germination rate, and protein content. The gene is associated with phenotypes such as decreased osmotic stress resistance, decreased ionic stress resistance, increased oxidative stress resistance, increased replicative lifespan, increased innate thermotolerance, and altered vegetative growth. TRK1 localizes to the plasma membrane, cell tip, cell division site, and chloride channel complex.
