SUT2 [YPR009W]
Sterol uptake protein 2; Zn2Cys6 family transcription factor; positively regulates sterol uptake under anaerobic conditions with SUT1; represses filamentation-inducing genes during non-starvation conditions; positively regulates mating along with SUT1 by repressing the expression of genes (PRR2, NCE102 and RHO5) which function as mating inhibitors; multicopy suppressor of mutations that cause low activity of the cAMP/PKA pathway; SUT2 has a paralog, SUT1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Synonyms: SUT2, SUT2p, Q12286, LPZ9w, Q12286p ...
