EXPB11

Gene
EXPB11
Protein
Expansin-B11
Organism
Oryza sativa subsp. japonica
Length
292 amino acids
Function
May cause loosening and extension of plant cell walls by disrupting non-covalent bonding between cellulose microfibrils and matrix glucans. No enzymatic activity has been found. May be required for rapid internodal elongation in deepwater rice during submergence (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the expansin family. Expansin B subfamily.
Mass

Protein
Expansin-B11
Organism
Zea mays
Length
269 amino acids
Function
May aid fertilization by loosening the cell wall of the stigma and style, thereby facilitating penetration of the pollen tube. Acts selectively on grass cell walls, which are relatively poor in pectins and xyloglucans and rich in glucuronoarabinoxylans and (1-3),(1-4)-beta-D-glucans, when compared with cell walls of other angiosperms, including other monocots (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the expansin family. Expansin B subfamily.
