PMIT1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoPMIT1 (BOLC102_C06P033280.1) on cabbage chromosome 6 encodes a member of the NRAMP family of metal ion transporters, with molecular functions including iron channel activity, manganese ion transmembrane transporter activity, and cadmium ion transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with the transport and homeostasis of multiple metals, including iron, manganese, cadmium, lead, and aluminium, as well as with cellular cation homeostasis and response to aluminium. It is linked to the plasma membrane. Associations include chlorophyll content, manganese and iron uptake, manganese toxicity tolerance, seed iron accumulation, and root growth. Related genes in other species are linked to iron transport, iron toxicity resistance, and plant growth.
