LOC101512618 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101512618 on chickpea chromosome 3 encodes a protein with CDPK_Ser/Thr_kinases and EF-hand domains, and is annotated with calcium-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity, Ca2+/CaM-dependent kinase activity, calmodulin binding, calcium ion binding, protein serine kinase activity, and ATP binding. It is associated with pollen maturation, calcium signaling, inhibition of salinity response, intracellular signal transduction, upregulation of response to thirst, homeostasis, osmotic response, and response to abscisic acid. The protein localizes to the membrane, plasmalemma, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Related genes in other species link this gene family to salt response and stomatal opening. The gene is connected to numerous other kinases including CIPK9, CPK4, and SAPK2, as well as NRT1-related genes.
