| Standard Name | CHS2 1 |
|---|---|
| Systematic Name | YBR038W |
| Feature Type | ORF, Verified |
| Description | Chitin synthase II; catalyzes transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to chitin upon activation of zymogenic form; required for chitin synthesis in the primary septum during cytokinesis; localization regulated by Cdk1p during mitosis; phosphorylation by Dbf2p kinase regulates its dynamics and chitin synthesis during cytokinesis (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) |
