IRX14 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_5G24290V3 (IRX14) on chromosome 5 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a protein belonging to the Glyco_trans_43 and Nucleotide-diphossugar_trans families, with annotated galactosylgalactosylxylosylprotein 3-beta-glucuronosyltransferase and xylosyltransferase activities. The gene is associated with glucuronoxylan and xylan anabolism, secondary cell wall biogenesis, cell wall organization, and digestion, and its product localizes to the Golgi membrane. Related genes in other species link the IRX14 family to polysaccharide content.
