PSA — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT0S1725G0080 (symbol PSA) in garden pea (Pisum sativum) encodes a phosphoserine aminotransferase, an enzyme with O-phospho-L-serine:2-oxoglutarate transaminase activity (EC 2.6.1.52) that binds pyridoxal phosphate. The protein is localized to the chloroplast stroma and cytoplasm. This gene is associated with calcium concentration and protein content traits. It is also associated with numerous biological processes including placentation, decidualization, neurulation, gastrulation, ovulation, lymphocyte activation, gestation, chondrogenesis, nephron development, insemination, phagocytosis, sperm motility, sperm capacitation, acrosome reaction, actin polymerization or depolymerization, cytokine production, and sialylation. Studies of related genes in other species link the phosphoserine aminotransferase family to salt tolerance.
