| Standard Name | Ure2p |
|---|---|
| Systematic Name | Ynl229cp |
| ORF Classification | Verified |
| Description | Nitrogen catabolite repression transcriptional regulator that acts by inhibition of GLN3 transcription in good nitrogen source; has glutathione peroxidase activity and can mutate to acquire GST activity; altered form creates [URE3] prion (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) Also known as: [URE3] 3 |
| Name Description | UREidosuccinate transport |
