PRX37 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsPRX37 (CSA13G041840) on chromosome 13 of Camelina sativa encodes a secretory class III peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) with lactoperoxidase and general peroxidase activity, heme binding, and metal binding. This enzyme is associated with hydrogen peroxide catabolism, response to oxidative stress, wax anabolism, and downregulation of growth. The protein localizes to the vacuole, plant-type cell wall, and extracellular space. Related genes in other species link the family to plant growth and development traits.
