KCR1

Gene
KCR1
Protein
Very-long-chain 3-oxoacyl-CoA reductase 1
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Length
318 amino acids
Function
Beta-ketoacyl-coenzyme A reductase required for the elongation of fatty acids precursors of sphingolipids, triacylglycerols, cuticular waxes and suberin. Responsible for the first reduction step in very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) synthesis. Decreased expression of KCR1 (RNAi) leads to plants with fused vegetative and reproductive organs, and abnormal trichome, epidermal cell and root morphology. Cannot be complemented by KCR2.
Similarity
Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
Mass
35.762 kDa
