DB identifier | AT5G24300 | Secondary Identifier | locus:2169749 |
Name | starch synthase 1 | Brief Description | Glycogen/starch synthases, ADP-glucose type |
TAIR Computational Description | Glycogen/starch synthases, ADP-glucose type;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | SSI is a plastidial enzyme and crucial for the synthesis of normal amylopectin in the leaves of Arabidopsis. The absence of SSI results in a deficiency in the number of shorter glucans which in turn affect the formation and connection of the amylopectin clusters in starch. |
TAIR Short Description | Glycogen/starch synthases, ADP-glucose type |
