General annotation (Comments)

Function	May cause loosening and extension of plant cell walls by disrupting non-covalent bonding between cellulose microfibrils and matrix glucans. No enzymatic activity has been found. May be required for rapid internodal elongation in deepwater rice during submergence By similarity.
Subcellular location	Secreted › cell wall By similarity. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Expressed in adventitious root primordia, coleoptiles, shoot apex, leaf primordia, panicles and flowers. Ref.1 Ref.6 Ref.9
Developmental stage	Expressed in the apical region (growing zone) of the root hair. Expressed in the basal growing zone of air-grown internode. Expressed in the growing region of leaves. Expressed in the developing seeds. Ref.1 Ref.2 Ref.7
Induction	By gibberellin (GA3) and wounding. Ref.1 Ref.2
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the expansin family. Expansin A subfamily. Contains 1 expansin-like CBD domain. Contains 1 expansin-like EG45 domain.
