STA — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG402018758 (STA) on potato chromosome 7 encodes a monosaccharide transmembrane transporter with symporter activity, belonging to the MFS_STP/MST-like plant sugar transporter family. The protein is localised to the membrane and plasmalemma. STA is associated with immune memory response, hypersensitivity, immune response, digestion, protein phosphorylation, and response to lectin. It has also been linked to antifungal activity and sugar binding. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to sugar transport functions.
