Lipid raft associated protein; overexpression restores Pma1p localization to lipid rafts which is required for targeting of Pma1p to the plasma membrane; sometimes classified in the medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductases (MDRs) superfamily; AST2 has a paralog, AST1, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000000903]
Chromosome V: 360,502-361,794 reverse strand.
R64-1-1:BK006939.2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 16 orthologues and 21 paralogues.
