GLYMA_04G123800V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_04G123800v4 on soybean chromosome 4 encodes a protein belonging to the alternative oxidase (AOX) family, with ubiquinol:oxygen oxidoreductase, superoxide-generating NADPH oxidase, and alternative oxidase activities, and binds metal ions. The gene is associated with mitochondrial localization, particularly the inner membrane, and linked to processes including alternative respiration, oxidative phosphorylation, electron transport, chlororespiration, regulation of photosynthesis, response to water, protein myristoylation, pyruvate transport, and release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. It has been connected to traits such as respiration rate, photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, quantum yield, photochemical quenching, cytoplasmic male sterility, and heterosis. Studies of related genes in other species further support the ubiquinol oxidase function.
