Transient receptor potential channel Flc/Pkd2-like
InterPro entry
Short name | TRP_Flc/Pkd2-like |
Description
This entry includes flavin carrier proteins Flc1-3 from budding yeasts and Pkd2 from fission yeasts. They are transient receptor potential channel-like proteins. Flc1 may be responsible for the transport of FAD into the endoplasmatic reticulum lumen, where it is required for oxidative protein folding
[2]. Pkd2 acts as a key signaling component in the regulation of cell shape and cell wall synthesis through interaction with GTPase Rho1
[1].
