Protein attributes

Sequence length	1180 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Inferred from homology.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Plays a major role in cell wall biogenesis. Involved in mating tube and dikaryotic hyphae formation. Essential for pathogenicity. Ref.4
Catalytic activity	UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + (1,4-(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl))(n) = UDP + (1,4-(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl))(n+1).
Subcellular location	Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note: A constitutive cytoplasmic pool is present that localizes to intracellular microvesicles termed chitosomes. Chitosomes constitute a separate secretory route distinct from the typical secretory pathway and serve as a vehicle for delivering the enzyme to the sites on the cell surface where polysaccharide sythesis takes place. Localizes to septa of yeast-like cells and to the basal septum separating the living tip cell from the vacuolated part in hyphae. Also localizes to the growing bud tip in yeast-like cells and in a tip-ward gradient at the hyphal apex. Ref.4 Ref.3
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the chitin synthase family. Class V subfamily.
Sequence caution	The sequence AAB84285.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 1067. The sequence EAK84053.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction.
