STA — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400000367, designated STA and also known as StSTP14 or STP14, is a potato gene on chromosome 12. It encodes a monosaccharide transmembrane transporter with symporter activity, belonging to the MFS sugar transporter superfamily and the STP/PLT plant subfamily. The product is localised to the membrane and plasmalemma. The gene is associated with biological processes including response to lectin, immune memory response, digestion, hypersensitivity, immune response, and protein phosphorylation. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to sucrose content.
