DB identifier | AT2G28110 | Secondary Identifier | locus:2046163 |
Name | FRAGILE FIBER 8 | Brief Description | Exostosin family protein |
TAIR Computational Description | Exostosin family protein;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Homolog to AT5G22940, a member of glycosyltransferase family 47 that is involved in secondary cell wall biosynthesis. It exhibits high sequence similarity to tobacco (Nicotiana plumbaginifolia) pectin glucuronyltransferase. Protein has a domain that shares significant similarity with the pfam03016 domain. It is expressed specifically in developing vessels and fiber cells, and FRA8 is targeted to Golgi. Mutants have irregular xylem formation, reduced cellulose levels and plants are smaller than normal siblings. |
