HSP22 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT4G136720 (HSP22, PsHSP23.5) on chromosome 4LG4 encodes a heat shock 22 kDa protein belonging to the HSP20-like chaperone family with an A-crystallin/Hsp20 domain. The gene product is associated with protein binding and localizes to both chloroplast stroma and mitochondria. It is associated with response to heat, osmotic response, energy homeostasis, embryogenesis, seed development, and homeostasis. Related genes in other species are linked to thermotolerance and salt response.
