CAX7 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoCAX7 (CAX7, CCX1) on chromosome 2 of cabbage (Brassica oleracea) encodes a sodium/calcium exchanger belonging to the CaCA antiporter family, with an NCX ion-binding domain superfamily and NaCa_Exmemb domain, and is localised to the plasmalemma. The gene is associated with virus-induced post-transcriptional gene silencing and leaf senescence. Related genes in other species are linked to leaf senescence traits and salt tolerance.
