CAM — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_20G048900V4, designated GmCAM, encodes a protein with EF-hand calcium-binding domains and is annotated as an enzyme modulator with calcium ion binding activity. In soybean, this gene is associated with calcium signaling, the MAPK cascade, signal transduction, defense response, systemic acquired resistance, protein phosphorylation, and response to flooding. It has also been linked to citrate secretion, prenylation, memory, metabolic burst, electron transfer, translation elongation, and secretion. GmCAM localizes to the cytoplasm and myosin II complex. Trait associations include calcium concentration, root length, drought tolerance, and salt tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to stomatal opening.
