DB identifier | AT2G38080 | Secondary Identifier | locus:2042842 |
Name | IRREGULAR XYLEM 12 | Brief Description | Laccase/Diphenol oxidase family protein |
TAIR Computational Description | Laccase/Diphenol oxidase family protein;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | LAC4 appears to have laccase activity based on enzyme assays performed using lac4 mutants. These mutants also have reduced levels of lignin. LAC4 is expressed in vascular bundles and fibers and likely contributes to lignin biosynthesis, and hence cell wall biosynthesis, there. lac4/irx12 mutants have a mild irregular xylem phenotype. |
