Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Csa_3G826640
• Gene Symbol: CsNIP2;1
• Gene Name: nodulin-26 like intrinsic protein2
• Genome: Cucumis sativus ASM407v2
• Species: Cucumis sativus

Functional Descriptions:

• 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 is a plasma membrane transporter that mediates pH-dependent urea uptake when expressed in yeast.
• 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 expression in A. thaliana and cucumber suggest that 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 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.
