LTPG2_ARATH LTPG2_ARATH-2 LTPG2_ARATH-3 | developmental stage | Accumulates in seeds after imbibition (PubMed:23893219). Mainly present in elongating or expanding tissues (PubMed:21558309). Strongly expressed in the aerial portions and root tips of seedlings. Present in stem and leaf epidermis, including the trichomes, leaf mesophyll cells, and stem cortex and xylem. In flowers, observed in the upper portion of the styles, anther filament, and veins of the sepals and petals, silique walls and developing seeds (PubMed:23893219). |
LTPG2_ARATH LTPG2_ARATH-2 LTPG2_ARATH-3 | function | Lipid transfer protein that, together with LTPG1, binds to lipids and functions as a component of the cuticular lipid export machinery that performs extensive export of intracellular lipids (e.g. C29 alkane) from epidermal cells to the surface to build the cuticular wax layer and silique walls (PubMed:22891199). Contributes to pre-invasive defense against some non-host powdery mildew pathogens by preventing the penetration of the epidermal cell wall by the fungal agents (e.g. Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei (Bgh)) (PubMed:30102837). Involved in seed and ovule maturation and development, probably by regulating the fatty acids homeostasis during suberin and sporopollenin biosynthesis or deposition (PubMed:24460633). |
LTPG2_ARATH LTPG2_ARATH-2 LTPG2_ARATH-3 | similarity | Belongs to the plant LTP family. |
LTPG2_ARATH LTPG2_ARATH-2 LTPG2_ARATH-3 | subcellular location | Targeted to the plasma membrane via the vesicular trafficking system. |
LTPG2_ARATH LTPG2_ARATH-2 LTPG2_ARATH-3 | tissue specificity | Up-regulated in the epidermis of top stems. Expressed in roots, cotyledons, seedlings, leaves, stems, buds, flower and silique walls (PubMed:23893219). Preferentially expressed in the shoot apical meristem and the root meristem (PubMed:21558309). Also detected in expanding leaves and petals, developing flowers, and elongating pistils, stamens and siliques (PubMed:21558309). |
