Protein
Metal homeostatis protein BSD2
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Required for homeostasis of heavy metal ions such as cadmium, cobalt and copper. Controls metal ion transport and prevents metal hyperaccumulation by negatively regulating the SMF1 and SMF2 metal transport systems. Under manganese-replete conditions facilitates trafficking of SMF1 and SMF2 metal transporters to the vacuole where they are degraded.
Similarity
Belongs to the BSD2 family.
