ACP — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_15G118700V4, also known as GmACP or GmMTACP3, encodes an acyl carrier protein (ACP) characterized by an ACP-like superfamily domain and a phosphopantetheine-binding domain, with acyl carrier activity annotated as its molecular function. This soybean gene on chromosome 15 is associated with protein acylation, fatty acid elongation, lipogenesis, phosphatidylcholine anabolism, sucrose metabolism, and starch anabolism. It has been linked to stearic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, and starch content, and to embryo development. The encoded protein localizes to mitochondria. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to seed weight and embryo development traits.
