Protein
Probable inositol transporter 2
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Plasma membrane inositol-proton symporter. Specific for several inositol epimers, such as myoinositol and scylloinositol. D-chiroinositol, mucoinositol, alloinositol and pinitol are also transported with a lower activity. Not active with galactinol and phytate.
Similarity
Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sugar transporter (TC 2.A.1.1) family.
