LOC101492472 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101492472 on chickpea chromosome 7 encodes a papain-like cysteine peptidase, belonging to the peptidase C1A family, with cysteine-type peptidase activity and thiol endopeptidase activity. The gene is associated with proteolysis, programmed cell death, cell death, embryogenesis, pollen development, flower development, cell differentiation, and response to wounding. Its product localises to the lysosome, vacuole, cytoplasmic vesicle, ER lumen, and extracellular space. LOC101492472 is also linked to protein content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to the enzyme class 3.4.22.14.
