AKT1 — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C05F29690 (AKT1) on asparagus chromosome 5 encodes a KHA domain-containing protein with voltage-sensitive potassium channel (Kir channel) activity and identical protein binding. It is associated with the periarbuscular membrane, plasmalemma, ER membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus, and with biological processes including arbuscular mycorrhizae formation, nodulation, response to symbiotic bacteria and fungi, cell cycle, G1 phase, spermatogenesis, and excretion. The gene is also linked to the monoatomic ion channel complex. Related genes in other species connect the family to potassium channel function and ion transport.
