| Short Name | Amino_acid_permease_fungi |
| description | Amino acid permeases are integral membrane proteins involved in the transportof amino acids into the cell. A number of such proteins have been found to beevolutionary related [, , ]. These proteins seem to contain up to 12 transmembrane segments. The best conserved region in this family is located in the second transmembrane segment.This family is specific for the fungal amino acid permeases including the general amino acid permease AGP1, which perferentially transports Asp and Glu but can transport other amino acids []; GAP1, which transports Leu and Phe, and GAP3 which transports Phe []. |
