General annotation (Comments)

Function

Involved in the synthesis of the hemicellulose glucuronoxylan, a major component of secondary cell walls. Probably involved in the elongation of glucuronoxylan xylosyl backbone. Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11

Subcellular location

Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein Probable Ref.8.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in developing interfascicular fibers, primary and secondary xylem in stems and developing secondary xylem in roots. Ref.8

Disruption phenotype

Dwarf phenotype. Collapsed xylem vessels and reduced xylan content in cell wall. Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 43 family.
