NCL — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoNCL (BOLC102_C06P017500.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 6 encodes a sodium/calcium exchanger with calcium:proton antiporter activity, calcium ion binding and mRNA binding, containing EF-hand domains and a Na/Ca exchanger membrane domain. The protein is associated with vacuolar membrane, plasmalemma and plasmodesmata localisation. It is associated with calcium ion homeostasis, sodium transport, cellular salinity response, glucosinolate transport, water transport, memory, secondary metabolism and auxin signalling. Associations include salt stress tolerance, calcium tolerance, stomatal resistance and auxin sensitivity. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to flowering time and salt tolerance traits.
