UGT88E4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_16G175600V4, also known as GmUGT88E4 or UGT88E4, encodes a UDP-glycosyltransferase family protein on soybean chromosome 16. The enzyme exhibits baicalein 7-O-glucuronosyltransferase, chalcone 4'-O-glucosyltransferase, isoflavone 7-O-glucosyltransferase, hexosyltransferase, UDP-glucosyltransferase, and transglycosidase activities. This gene is associated with isoflavonoid and anthocyanin anabolism, pigment anabolism, nodulation, defense response, detoxification, secretion, protein breakdown, NO storage, and responses to cGMP and hydrogen peroxide. It is linked to cytoplasmic localization and to soluble protein and protein content traits. Related genes in other species are associated with seed weight and drought tolerance.
