Name | MUCILAGE-MODIFIED 4 | Brief Description | NAD-dependent epimerase/dehydratase family protein |
TAIR Computational Description | NAD-dependent epimerase/dehydratase family protein;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | encodes a putative NDP-L-rhamnose synthase, an enzyme required for the synthesis of the pectin rhamnogalacturonan I, the major component of Arabidopsis mucilage. Gene is involved in seed coat mucilage cell development. Mutant analyses suggest that MUM4 is required for complete mucilage synthesis, cytoplasmic rearrangement and seed coat development. |
