PurinePermeasen
PurinePermeasen is a hypothetical membrane-associated protein proposed to mediate the transport of purine nucleobases and related compounds across cellular membranes. The name combines purine with permease, reflecting its proposed role in modulating membrane permeability to purines rather than catalyzing a chemical transformation.
The protein is predicted to be a multipass transmembrane protein that functions as a facilitated diffusion
Distribution and genetics: Candidate PurinePermeasen homologs have been found in diverse bacteria and archaea, with occasional
Research status and significance: As a hypothetical protein, PurinePermeasen remains unconfirmed experimentally. If validated, it would
