GLYMA_06G162600V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_06G162600v4 on soybean chromosome 6 encodes a calreticulin/calnexin family protein with calcium ion binding and sugar binding activities, localised to the endoplasmic reticulum lumen and membrane. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including the ERAD pathway, ER stress response, proteasome degradation, endocytosis, and PTM, as well as photosynthesis light reaction, the TCA and glyoxylate cycles, fermentation, water transport, secondary metabolism, lignin anabolism, and nutrient storage. It is linked to traits such as root dry weight, root length, leaf water potential, chlorophyll content, protein content, and drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the calreticulin/calnexin family to similar stress and developmental functions.
