Protein
EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTOR-like protein 4
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Acts primarily as positive regulator of inflorescence growth. Endodermal expression is sufficient for proper inflorescence architecture (PubMed:22474391). Redundantly involved with EPFL6 in procambial development regulation. Controls stomatal patterning. Mediates stomatal development inhibition. TMM (AC Q9SSD1) functions to dampen or block CLL2 signaling. Acts as growth-regulatory ligand for ERECTA family receptors.
Similarity
Belongs to the plant cysteine rich small secretory peptide family. Epidermal patterning factor subfamily.
