Organism
Neurospora crassa (strain ATCC 24698 / 74-OR23-1A / CBS 708.71 / DSM 1257 / FGSC 987)
Function
Contributes to surface hydrophobicity, which is important for processes such as association of hyphae in reproductive structures, dispersal of aerial spores and adhesion of pathogens to host structures. Important for the formation of hydrophobic rodlet layers of asexually-produced spores.
Similarity
Belongs to the fungal hydrophobin family.
