HSP22 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT7G255520 (HSP22) on garden pea chromosome 7LG7 encodes a protein containing an A-crystallin/Hsp20 domain and a Gag1-like clamp domain, and is annotated as a protein folding chaperone. This gene is associated with response to heat, response to hydrogen peroxide, salinity response, protein folding, protein oligomerization, energy homeostasis, homeostasis, cell division, embryogenesis, seed development, and phloem or xylem histogenesis. The encoded product localizes to mitochondria, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the HSP20-like chaperone family to photochemical quenching.
