| 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}. | |
