Protein
Late embryogenesis abundant protein 7
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Involved in dehydration and freezing tolerance. Protects and stabilizes the enzyme activities of ADP-glucose-pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) during drought stress and freezing. Prevents aggregation of leaf soluble proteins during drought stress. Does not stabilize liposomes during drying and rehydration.
Similarity
Belongs to the LEA type 4 family.
