High impact information on CTS2

Isolation and characterization of two chitinase-encoding genes (cts1, cts2) from the fungus Coccidioides immitis [1].
The cts2 gene contains two introns and a 2580-bp ORF which translates a 860-aa protein of 91.4 kDa [1].

Biological context of CTS2

The Candida albicans genome contains four chitinase genes, CHT1, CHT2, and CHT3, which are homologous to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae CTS1 gene and C. albicans CHT4, which is homologous to S. cerevisiae CTS2 [2].
