TAIR Curator Summary | SIP2 encodes a raffinose-specific alpha-galactosidase that catalyzes the breakdown of raffinose into alpha-galatose and sucrose. This enzyme may function in unloading raffinose from the phloem as part of sink metabolism. Although it was originally predicted to act as a raffinose synthase (RS), that activity was not observed for recombinant SIP2. |
