BOLC102_C03P030550.1_BOLC102_V1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BOLC102_C03P030550.1_BOLC102_V1 on cabbage chromosome 3 encodes a protein with a Glyco_hydro_19 domain and a chitin-binding domain, classifying it as an endochitinase with chitinase activity and chitin binding. It is associated with chitin breakdown, cell wall macromolecule catabolic processes, and polysaccharide breakdown, as well as amino sugar metabolism. The gene has been linked to defense responses, systemic acquired resistance, immune response, response to fungi, calcium signaling, signal transduction, glucosinolate anabolism, lignin anabolism, and killing of cells of other organisms. The encoded protein is localized extracellularly. Related genes in other species link the family to chitinase activity (EC 3.2.1.14).
