BLP3 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT5G126160 (symbol BLP3, also known as Bccp, BADC1, and PsBLP3) in garden pea (Pisum sativum) on chromosome 5LG3 encodes a biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) belonging to the ACC_Biotin_Carrier and Biotin_lipoyl domain families. The gene product is associated with protein binding and has been linked to both fatty acid anabolism and its negative regulation, as well as digestion, embryogenesis, and seed development. It is associated with chlorophyll content, root length, embryo development, fatty acid synthesis rate and content, triacylglycerol content, and seed yield. Related genes in other species are linked to seed oil content, acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity, embryo viability, and fatty acid biosynthesis.
