    Also known as
    AtNPF2.12; nitrate transporter 1.6; NPF2.12; NRT1/ PTR family 2.12; T7N9.14; T7N9_14
    Summary
    Encodes a protein with low-affinity nitrate transporter activity that is expressed in the vascular tissue of the funiculus and the silique. This plasma membrane-localized enzyme is predicted to have 12 transmembrane domains. Plants lacking NRT1.6 have reduced levels of nitrate in their seeds and have increased levels of early embryonic developmental defects and seed abortion.
