What is the function of this protein?
Polymerizes chitin, a structural polymer of the cell wall and septum, by transferring the sugar moiety of UDP-GlcNAc to the non-reducing end of the growing chitin polymer (Probable).  Involved in mating tube and dikaryotic hyphae formation and required for the formation of invading hyphae during plant infection (PubMed:16314447).
What are the official names of this protein?
Chitin synthase 8, Chitin-UDP acetyl-glucosaminyl transferase 8, Myosin chitin synthase 1.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
In the C-terminal section; belongs to the chitin synthase family. Class V subfamily.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=A constitutive cytoplasmic pool is present that localizes to intracellular microvesicles termed chitosomes. Chitosomes constitute a separate secretory route distinct from the typical secretory pathway and serve as a vehicle for delivering the enzyme to the sites on the cell surface where polysaccharide sythesis takes place. Localizes to septa of yeast-like cells and to the basal septum separating the living tip cell from the vacuolated part in hyphae. Also localizes to the growing bud tip in yeast-like cells and in a tip-ward gradient at the hyphal apex.
