OEP24 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT6G006400 (OEP24) on garden pea chromosome 6LG2 encodes the outer envelope pore protein 24 (OEP24), a voltage-gated monoatomic cation channel with porin, protein translocase, GTPase, and protein-binding activities. This gene is associated with chloroplast outer membrane and envelope localisation, etioplast membrane, and plasmalemma, and is linked to protein import, intracellular protein transport, protein-chloroplast targeting, and regulation of ion membrane transport. Associations include chloroplast development and root thickness traits, as well as short roots and root growth phenotypes. Related genes in other species include OEP34.
