CAM — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT1G142720 (symbol CAM) on garden pea chromosome 1LG6 encodes a protein containing EF-hand calcium-binding domains and is annotated as an enzyme modulator with protein domain-specific binding and calcium ion binding activities. The gene is associated with seed germination and digestion, and its product localises to the cytoplasm and myosin II complex. Studies of related genes in other species, including CAM-2, CAM53 and CaM-1, link this family to calcium-mediated signalling.
