Protein
Homeobox protein knotted-1-like 6
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Plays a role in meristem function. Contributes to the shoot apical meristem (SAM) maintenance and organ separation by controlling boundary establishment in embryo in a CUC1, CUC2 and STM-dependent manner. Involved in maintaining cells in an undifferentiated, meristematic state. Probably binds to the DNA sequence 5'-TGAC-3'.
Similarity
Belongs to the TALE/KNOX homeobox family.
