hxnP — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_09088 (hxnP) in Verticillium dahliae encodes an MFS transporter with vitamin B5 transmembrane transporter activity and carboxylic acid transmembrane transporter activity. It is associated with pantothenate import into the cell, host invasion, secretion, and membrane transport. The protein localises to the cell tip, cell division site, Golgi complex, endoplasmic reticulum, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to similar transport functions.
