Ammonium transporter MEP2

UniProtKB accession:  P41948

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Transporter for ammonium (both charged and uncharged NH3 and NH4) to use as a nitrogen source (PubMed:11069679, PubMed:11486013, PubMed:9234685, PubMed:9482721, PubMed:16477434, PubMed:18434596, PubMed:24476960, PubMed:27088325). The affinity of MEP2 is about twenty times higher than that of MEP1 (PubMed:9482721). MEP3 has the lowest affinity (PubMed:9482721). Under ammonium limitation acts as an ammonium sensor, generating a signal that leads to pseudohyphal (filamentous) growth (PubMed:9482721, PubMed:11069679, PubMed:16477434, PubMed:18434596, PubMed:32069286).
