SQE1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_3G103510 (SQE1) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 3 encodes a squalene epoxidase, an enzyme with squalene monooxygenase activity that binds FAD or FADH2 and localises to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. This gene is associated with terpene, sterol, saponin and secondary metabolism, as well as responses to hormones including ethylene, jasmonic acid and salicylate, and to nitric oxide, hydrogen peroxide, vanadate, metals and molecules of fungal origin. Related genes in other species are linked to drought tolerance.
