Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP12806
Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Major facilitator superfamily multidrug transporter FLU1
Synonyms
  1. Fluconazole resistance protein 1
Gene Name FLU1
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Major facilitator superfamily transporter that mediates resistance to structurally and functionally unrelated compounds including cycloheximide but also azoles such as fuconazole, ketoconazole and itraconazole (PubMed:11065353, PubMed:11181345). Mediates also efflux of histatin 5, a salivary human antimicrobial peptide, and is responsible for reduction of its toxicity in C.albicans (PubMed:23380720, PubMed:28953977).
