CYP88D6 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CSA_3G903550, also known as CYP88D6, encodes a cytochrome P450 enzyme with beta-amyrin 11-oxidase, ent-kaurenoic acid monooxygenase, and abscisic acid 8'-hydroxylase activities, and is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. In cucumber (Cucumis sativus) on chromosome 3, this gene is associated with the breakdown of abscisic acid, sterol and gibberellin metabolism, brassinosteroid biosynthesis and homeostasis, pollen tube development and germination, morphogenesis, auxin response, and response to thirst and abscisic acid. It is also linked to plant height. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to gibberellin biosynthesis and other cytochrome P450-mediated oxidations.
