Name | vitamin c defective 2 | Brief Description | GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase 1 |
TAIR Computational Description | GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase 1;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a novel protein involved in ascorbate biosynthesis, which was shown to catalyze the transfer of GMP from GDP-galactose to a variety of hexose-1-phosphate acceptors. Recessive mutation has a reduced amount of vitamin C, lower level of non-photochemical quenching, and reduced rate of conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin in high light. |
