ELG — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

StELG (PGSC0003DMG400023329) on potato chromosome 5 encodes a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like serine/threonine kinase (LRR-RLK) with coreceptor activity, steroid binding, SNARE binding, and transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity. This gene is associated with detection of brassinosteroid stimulus, immune complex formation, innate immune response-activating signaling pathway, regulation of defence response to fungi, MAPK cascade, metabolic burst, stomatal complex morphogenesis, tissue morphogenesis, somatic embryogenesis, skotomorphogenesis, and regulation of developmental growth. It localizes to the plasma membrane, endosome, and macromolecular complexes. Related genes in other species include BAK1 (SERK3), linked to brassinosteroid signaling and innate immunity, and the tomato systemin receptor SR160.
