GUT1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_3G106690 (GUT1) on barrel medic chromosome 3 encodes a protein with an Exostosin_GT47 domain and is annotated with glucuronoxylan glucuronosyltransferase and transglycosidase activities. The gene is associated with glucuronoxylan and xylan anabolism, secondary cell wall biogenesis, cell wall organization, and glycoprotein anabolism. It has been linked to seed development, nodulation, defense response, response to nematodes, cell death, metabolic burst, flavonoid anabolism, and homeostasis. The encoded product localizes to the Golgi membrane. Related genes in other species link the family to glucuronoxylan biosynthesis.
