TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a protein with similarity to progesterone-binding proteins in animals. Has been shown to bind steroids in vitro. Expressed in aerial portions of the plant excluding mature flowers and siliques. Antisense experiments suggest a role in inhibition of hypocotyl cell elongation. Expression is suppressed light grown seedlings transferred to the dark. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile. |
