GLYMA_04G017700V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_04G017700v4 on soybean chromosome 4 encodes a protein with 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme activity, cation binding, and O-glucosyl hydrolase activity, and contains domains including A-amylase/branching_C, Branching_enzy, Glyco_hydro_13_N, GH13_cat_dom, Glyco_hydro_b, Ig_E-set, Ig-like_fold, and GH_hydrolase_sf. The protein localises to the amyloplast and cytoplasm and is associated with starch breakdown, glycan biosynthesis, glycogen anabolism, and cellulose breakdown. This gene is associated with numerous agronomically important traits including starch content, amylose content, seed protein content, seed weight, plant height, root length, seedling vigor, biomass yield, dry matter digestibility, and oligosaccharide content. It is also linked to flavonoid content, ash content, germination rate, seed maturation, and salt tolerance. Related genes in other species link the family to seed shape.
