P54 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_02G145700V4, also known as GmP54 or P54, encodes a protein belonging to the Cupin 1 family, with nutrient reservoir activity, copper binding, and IgE binding molecular functions. This soybean gene on chromosome 2 is associated with protein storage, seed growth, nitrogen utilization, phloem loading, sucrose transport, and starch anabolism. It is linked to immune memory response, protein homotrimerization and hexamerization, and electron transfer. The encoded protein localizes to the protein storage vacuole, endoplasmic reticulum, and extracellular space. GmP54 is associated with soluble protein content, protein content, starch content, and plant height. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to seed protein content, carbohydrate content, amino acid content, and sucrose content.
