GLC1 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

StGLC1 (PGSC0003DMG400018523) on potato chromosome 3 encodes a protein with glucan endo-1,3-beta-D-glucosidase activity (EC 3.2.1.39), lichenase activity, O-glucosyl hydrolase activity, and protein homodimerization activity, belonging to the glycosyl hydrolase family 17. The gene is associated with 1,3-beta-glucan breakdown, carbohydrate and sucrose metabolism, isoflavonoid and lignin anabolism, glutathione metabolism, immune response, defence response to fungi, histogenesis, pH reduction, digestion, and RNA-directed DNA methylation. Its product localises to the extracellular region, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and side of membrane. Related genes in other species are linked to glucan endo-1,3-beta-D-glucosidase activity.
