Lipid raft associated protein; interacts with the plasma membrane ATPase Pma1p and has a role in its targeting to the plasma membrane by influencing its incorporation into lipid rafts; sometimes classified in the medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductases (MDRs) superfamily; AST1 has a paralog, AST2, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000000165]
Chromosome II: 90,741-92,030 forward strand.
R64-1-1:BK006936.2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 22 orthologues and 21 paralogues.
