APS1 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUA03G08420S (APS1, also known as BjVSP3) encodes a protein belonging to the APS1/VSP family with acid phosphatase and nutrient reservoir activities. The gene is associated with glutathione anabolism, sulfur metabolism, and defense response. Its product localizes to secretory vesicles, the plant-type vacuole, and the extracellular space. Related genes in other species link the family to phosphate starvation response.
