ATPA — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_016773 (ATPA) on carrot chromosome 5 encodes a protein with the ATP_synth_F1_asu domain, a P-loop NTPase that forms part of the F1-F0 complex. The gene product possesses proton-transporting ATP synthase activity with rotational mechanism and binds ADP and ATP. It is associated with ATP anabolism and proton motive force-driven ATP synthesis, and localises to the mitochondrial inner membrane. Related genes in other species link the family to mitochondrial energy production.
