General annotation (Comments)

Function	Plays an important role during endosperm starch synthesis. Determines the type of amylopectin structure of starch grain. Synthesizes long B1 amylopectin chains by elongating short A and B1 chains, independently of the other soluble starch synthases. Barely active in japonica subspecies. Ref.1 Ref.2
Catalytic activity	ADP-glucose + (1,4-alpha-D-glucosyl)(n) = ADP + (1,4-alpha-D-glucosyl)(n+1).
Pathway	Glycan biosynthesis; starch biosynthesis.
Subcellular location	Plastid › amyloplast. Plastid › chloroplast. Note: Amyloplast or chloroplast, granule-bound and soluble. Ref.1 Ref.5
Tissue specificity	Expressed most exclusively in endosperm. Ref.1 Ref.5
Developmental stage	Expressed in developing caryopsis at 5 to 15 days after flowering. Expressed exclusively in the endosperm at 5 to 10 days after flowering. Ref.1
Miscellaneous	Increased activity due to variations in subspecies indica is associated with the synthesis of the L-type amylopectin, which contains much lower proportion of short amylopectin chains than the S-type amylopectin found in most japonica varieties. The difference in amylopectin chain composition explains why starch from japonica subspecies has a lower gelatinisation temperature than starch from indica subspecies.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 1 family. Bacterial/plant glycogen synthase subfamily.
