Protein
Sucrose transport protein SUC8
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Responsible for the transport of sucrose into the cell, with the concomitant uptake of protons (symport system). Can also transport maltose at a lesser rate. May also transport biotin.
Similarity
Belongs to the glycoside-pentoside-hexuronide (GPH) cation symporter transporter (TC 2.A.2.4) family.
