LRP — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SOLYC10G081190.2, also known as LRP, BAK1, or SlBAK1, encodes a transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase with coreceptor activity, featuring leucine-rich repeat domains. In tomato, this gene is associated with responses to biotic stimuli, including bacterial disease response and detection of symbiotic fungi, as well as leaf necrosis and self-incompatibility. It is linked to chlorophyll content, organ growth, and regulation of developmental growth, along with processes such as receptor-mediated endocytosis, protein kinase A activation, and oxidative phosphorylation. The encoded protein localizes to the plasma membrane, early and late endosome membranes, and the extracellular side of the plasma membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to plant height and stem elongation.
