Protein
EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTOR-like protein 6
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 EPFL4 in procambial development regulation. Acts also as tissue-specific regulator of epidermal pattern. Controls stomatal patterning by repressing stomatal production. TMM (AC Q9SSD1) functions to dampen or block CHAL signaling. Not processed by SDD1 (AC O64495). Acts as growth-regulatory ligand for ERECTA family receptors.
Similarity
Belongs to the plant cysteine rich small secretory peptide family. Epidermal patterning factor subfamily.
