Name | galacturonic acid kinase | Brief Description | galacturonic acid kinase |
TAIR Computational Description | galacturonic acid kinase;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a GHMP kinase family protein that acts as a galacturonic acid-1-phosphate kinase that catalyzes the production of galacturonic acid-1-phosphate. This is a precursor of the important cell wall building block UDP-galacturonic acid. Based on gene trap line GT8007, the gene appears to be expressed in a petal and stamen-specific manner, between flower stages 8 to 11, however, later RT-qPCR analysis demonstrates that the transcript is present throughout the plant in all tissues tested. |
