LOC101504414 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101504414 on chickpea chromosome 7 encodes a glycosyl hydrolase family 17 protein with lichenase and glucan endo-1,3-beta-D-glucosidase activity, and is also annotated for protein homodimerization activity. The gene is associated with 1,3-beta-glucan breakdown, carbohydrate metabolism, primary metabolism, and cell wall modification. It is linked to defence responses, including defence response to fungi, hypersensitivity, programmed cell death, cell death, and interaction with host. Localisation evidence links the product to the vacuole, extracellular space, membrane, plasmalemma, and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species associate the family with beta-1,3-endoglucanase activity (EC 3.2.1.39).
