Name | ECTOPICALLY PARTING CELLS | Brief Description | Nucleotide-diphospho-sugar transferases superfamily protein |
TAIR Computational Description | Nucleotide-diphospho-sugar transferases superfamily protein;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | A member of the Glycosyltransferase Family 64, homologous to Poplar cambium-expressed GT64 gene. The EPC1 protein plays a critical role during plant development in maintaining the integrity of organs via cell-cell adhesion, thereby providing mechanical strength and facilitating the movement of metabolites throughout the plant.Loss of function specifically affects glycosylinositolphosphorylceramide (GIPC) mannosylation. |
