| Standard Name | AUS1 1 |
|---|---|
| Systematic Name | YOR011W |
| Feature Type | ORF, Verified |
| Description | Plasma membrane sterol transporter of the ATP-binding cassette family; required, along with Pdr11p, for uptake of exogenous sterols and their incorporation into the plasma membrane; activity is stimulated by phosphatidylserine; sterol uptake is required for anaerobic growth because sterol biosynthesis requires oxygen; AUS1 has a paralog, PDR11, that arose from the whole genome duplication (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) |
| Name Description | ABC protein involved in Uptake of Sterols 1 |
