摘要：

The Mep ammonium transporters of Saccharomyces cerevisiae share amino acid sequence identity with the Rh blood group antigen proteins. A new study shows that the Rhg glycoproteins transport ammonium when heterologously expressed in mep mutant yeast cells, indicating a role for the Rh antigen complex.
