GTR3 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsGTR3 (CSA03G022770) on Camelina sativa chromosome 3 encodes a member of the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) and the POT family, with nitrate transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with phloem nitrate loading and phloem transport, and its product localises to the plasma membrane. CsGTR3 is associated with nitrate transport and glucosinolate transport. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to nitrate content and nitrate uptake.
