AtSTP14 belongs to the family of sugar transport proteins (AtSTPs)in volved in monosaccharide transport. Heterologous expression in yeast revealed that AtSTP14 is the transporter specifc for galactose and does not transport other monosaccharides such as glucose or fructose.
Computational Description
