| Description | This entry represents a group of nitrate transporters that belong to the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transport proteins. Proteins in this entry include high-affinity nitrate transporters NRT2 from plants, and nitrate/nitrite transporters NarK2/NarT/NasA/NarU from bacteria [ , , , ]. NRT2 family proteins are involved in the uptake of nitrate by plant roots from the soil through the high-affinity transport system (HATS). There are seven Arabidopsis thaliana NRT2 proteins, called AtNRT2:1 to AtNRT2:7 [ , ]. This entry also includes fungal nitrate transporters such as CRNA from Emericella nidulans []. |
