UniProt functional annotation for Q9M1X2

UniProt code: Q9M1X2.

Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis.
 
Function: Fatty-acid-binding protein. Interacts preferentially with saturated fatty acid. May be involved in alpha-linolenic (C18:3) metabolism.
 
Subcellular location: Plastid, chloroplast stroma {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22622584}.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in developing cotyledons, young seedlings, roots, seeds, embryos, macrospores, preanthesis and tapetum. Restricted to developing and reproductive tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22622584}.
Disruption phenotype: No visible phenotype during vegetative growth, but shorter siliques containing a reduced number of viable seeds. Elevated total fatty-acid levels in leaves and seeds of plants grown at 15 and 22 degrees Celsius. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22622584}.
Similarity: Belongs to the chalcone isomerase family. {ECO:0000305}.
