Integral membrane Yip1 family protein [Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress)] - Gene

Summary

Official Full Name: Integral membrane Yip1 family protein
Primary source: TAIR:AT2G18840
Locus tag: AT2G18840
See related: Araport:AT2G18840
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: MSF3.22; MSF3_22; YIP4a; YPT/RAB GTPase Interacting Protein 4a
Summary: Encodes one of the two YPT/RAB GTPase Interacting Protein 4a (YIP4a) and YIP4b (formerly YIP2), which form a TGN-localized complex with ECHIDNA (ECH). This complex is required for the secretion of cell wall polysaccharides.
