Ammonium transporter MEP1 (P40260)

Identification
NameAmmonium transporter MEP1
SynonymsNot Available
Gene NameMEP1
Enzyme ClassNot Available
Biological Properties
General FunctionInvolved in ammonium transmembrane transporter activity
Specific FunctionTransporter for ammonium (both charged and uncharged NH3 and NH4) to use as a nitrogen source. Can also transport methylamine. The affinity of MEP1 is about twenty times lower than that of MEP2. MEP3 has the lowest affinity
