The yeast gene ECM9 regulates cell wall maintenance and cell division in stress conditions.

, Baker's yeast, is a well-studied model eukaryotic organism. Much of our knowledge about eukaryotic cell function comes from yeast studies, though nearly 10% of yeast genes remain uncharacterized. This study focuses on YKR004C, a verified gene of unknown function named , predicted to be involved in cell division and cell wall maintenance or composition based on previous studies.
