Nomenclature History Notes
DateNote
2009-08-31This gene was originally named ECM40 (Extra Cellular Mutant) based on its identification as a calcofluor white sensitive mutant in a large scale screen. The name was changed to MET5 based on a request from the community. The rationale being that the MET5 gene name more accurately reflects the role of this gene in the methionine biosynthetic pathway.
