sce:FUN26
Genes: 32
SGD DescriptionHigh affinity, broad selectivity, nucleoside/nucleobase transporter; vacuolar membrane localized transporter which may regulate the balance of nicotinamide riboside (NmR) levels between the cytosol and vacuole, contributing to salvage of NmR for use in cytosolic NAD+ synthesis; equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT) family member
AspGD DescriptionOrtholog(s) have nicotinamide riboside transmembrane transporter activity, nucleobase transmembrane transporter activity and role in nicotinamide riboside transport, nucleobase transport, transmembrane transport
