TAIR Curator Summary | TP8 is a tonoplast localized member of CDF family of cation transporters. It functions in roots as an Mn transporter.MTP8 transports manganese into root vacuoles of iron-deficient plants and thereby prevents inhibition of iron deficiency-induced ferric chelate reductase by manganese. In seed embryos, MTP8 is responsible for manganese and iron enrichment in the subepidermal cell layer (particularly in vit1 mutant background.) |
