EPF2

Gene
EPF2
Protein
Protein EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTOR 2
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Length
120 amino acids
Function
Controls stomatal patterning. Regulates the number of cells that enter, and remain in, the stomatal lineage by inhibiting protodermal cells from adopting the meristemoid mother cell (MMC) fate in a non-cell-autonomous manner. Mediates stomatal development inhibition. MEPF2: mobile signal controlling stomatal development in a non-cell-autonomous manner (PubMed:22241782). Uses ERECTA as major receptor (PubMed:22241782). Inactivated by cleavage by CRSP (AC Q9LNU1) (PubMed:25043023). May act by competing with somatogen (AC Q9SV72) for the same receptor, TMM (AC Q9SSD1) (PubMed:22027592).
Similarity
Belongs to the plant cysteine rich small secretory peptide family. Epidermal patterning factor subfamily.
