BOLC102_C04P070690.1_BOLC102_V1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BOLC102_C04P070690.1_BOLC102_V1 on cabbage (Brassica oleracea) chromosome 4 encodes a protein belonging to the plant non-specific lipid-transfer protein (nsLTP) family, with bifunctional inhibitor/lipid-transfer/seed-storage domains. The gene product is annotated with nutrient reservoir, lipid-binding, and IgE-binding activities. It is associated with lipid transport, secretion, wax and lignin anabolism, calcium signaling, cold acclimation, response to cold, systemic acquired resistance, seed development, cell death, and programmed cell death. The protein localizes to the extraorganismal space. This gene is also linked to cytoplasmic male sterility. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to lipid-binding and allergenicity, though these associations are not established for this cabbage gene.
