Official Full Name: Late Embryogenesis Abundant 4-5
Primary source: TAIR:AT5G06760
Locus tag: AT5G06760
See related: Araport:AT5G06760
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype: Columbia)
Lineage: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis
Also known as: AtLEA4-5; Late Embryogenesis Abundant 4-5; MPH15.12; MPH15_12
Summary: Encodes LEA4-5, a member of the Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins which typically accumulate in response to low water availability conditions imposed during development or by the environment. Most of the diverse set of LEA proteins can be grouped according to properties such as high hydrophilicity and high content of glycine or other small amino acids in what has been termed hydrophilins. LEA4-5 protects enzyme activities from the adverse effects induced by freeze-thaw cycles in vitro.
