Type | Comment | Proteins |
---|---|---|
CESA4_ARATH | developmental stage | Not expressed in embryos. In young leaves, localized in transient patches along the vascular system. In young inflorescence stems, observed in vascular bundles of primary xylems. In maturing inflorescence stems, most pronounced in regions of developing interfascicular fibers. |
CESA4_ARATH | function | Catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase terminal complexes ('rosettes'), required for beta-1,4-glucan microfibril crystallization, a major mechanism of the cell wall formation. Involved in the secondary cell wall formation. Required for the xylem cell wall thickening. |
A0A1R7T3H6_ARATH CESA4_ARATH | pathway | Glycan metabolism; plant cellulose biosynthesis. |
A0A1R7T3H6_ARATH CESA4_ARATH | similarity | Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family. Plant cellulose synthase subfamily. |
CESA4_ARATH | tissue specificity | Confined to secondary cell wall developing tissues such as xylems and interfascicular regions. Expressed in roots, hypocotyls, leaves, inflorescences and flowers. |
