Gene Details:

  • Gene ID: Csa017389
  • Gene Symbol: CsNIP2|1
  • Gene Name: nodulin-26 like intrinsic protein2
  • Genome:
  • Species: Cucumis sativus

Functional Descriptions:

  • CsNIP2|1|CsNIP2|1 is a Plasma Membrane Transporter from Cucumis sativus that Facilitates Urea Uptake When Expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Arabidopsis thaliana.
  • We show that CsNIP2|1|CsNIP2|1 is a plasma membrane transporter that mediates pH-dependent urea uptake when expressed in yeast.
  • CsNIP2|1|CsNIP2|1 is transcriptionally up-regulated by N deficiency, urea and NO 3– . These data and results from the analyses of the pattern of CsNIP2|1|CsNIP2|1 expression in A. thaliana and cucumber suggest that CsNIP2|1|CsNIP2|1 might be involved in multiple steps of urea-based N nutrition, including urea uptake and internal transport during N remobilization throughout seed germination and N delivery to developing tissues.
  • Our data show that CsNIP2|1|CsNIP2|1 mediates urea transport and contributes to N nutrition through facilitating urea uptake, and might be involved in N recycling during early developmental stages of C. sativus.
