Protein
Protein ECERIFERUM 26
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Involved in biosynthesis of the epicuticular wax. Plays a role in very-long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) biosynthesis and is required for C30 fatty acid elongation in leaf. Despite its classification as a BAHD acyltransferase based on sequence homology, CER26 does not seem to share the catalytic mechanism of the members of the BAHD family.
Similarity
Belongs to the plant acyltransferase family.
