NP_015485.1

Glucosyl hydrolase required for beta-1,6-glucan biosynthesis; type II integral membrane protein that localizes to ER, plasma membrane, sites of polarized growth and secretory vesicles; functionally redundant with Skn1p; KRE6 has a paralog, SKN1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
