BOLC102_C06P051400.1_BOLC102_V1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BOLC102_C06P051400.1_BOLC102_V1 on cabbage chromosome 6 encodes a protein with a Kunitz inhibitor STI-like superfamily domain and a Prot_inh_Kunz-lg domain, possessing serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. The product is associated with extracellular localisation and linked to a range of biological processes including leaf senescence, photorespiration, proteolysis, protein denaturation, electron transfer, nitric oxide storage, and homeostasis. It is also associated with primary metabolism. Studies of related genes in other species, such as the Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor DrTI and the FUC1/FUC2 proteins, link the family to additional protease inhibition functions, though these associations are not yet established in cabbage.
