ASP1 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA03G053910 (symbol ASP1, also known as CsAPCB1 or APCB1) in Camelina sativa encodes an aspartic endopeptidase belonging to the peptidase A1 family, characterized by nucellin and TAXi domains. The gene product possesses aspartic endopeptidase activity and is associated with protein binding, proteolysis, and regulation of programmed cell death. It is linked to defence response to fungi and localizes to the extracellular space. Associations with seed weight and plant height have been noted. Related genes in other species connect the family to aspartic-type endopeptidase activity (EC 3.4.23.12).
