    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
    ATCAX1; cation exchanger 1; F16M14.10; F16M14_10; HIGH AFFINITY CALCIUM ANTIPORTER CAX1; RARE COLD INDUCIBLE 4; RCI4
    Summary
    Encodes a high affinity vacuolar calcium antiporter. The residue His 338 is critical to Ca2+ transport activity. Disruption of CAX1 reduces manganese and zinc of shoot tissue and results in a decrease in the activity of vacuolar V-type proton ATPase.

Additionally, CAX1 and CAX3 are co-expressed in mesophyll tissue in response to wounding or flg22 treatment, due to the induction of CAX3 expression.
