YNL229C, also known as Ure2 or Ure3, which stands for Ureidosuccinate transport, is a yeast gene that is responsible for both repressing nitrogen catabolism of glutamate by controlling the GLN3 transcription factor and for responding to oxidative stress. It is an open reading frame, meaning that it does not contain a stop codon.
This code has been fully sequenced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It encodes 354 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 40,226. It has been mapped to chromosome XIV, 5.9 map units from petX and 3.4 map units from kex2.
