Protein
Late embryogenesis abundant protein 31
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
LEA proteins are late embryonic proteins abundant in higher plant seed embryos. The function of those proteins is not known (Probable). Promotes germination rate. Enhances cation toxicity (e.g. lithium ion) and osmotic stress (e.g. NaCl and sorbitol) tolerance during germination and in seedlings (PubMed:12175017).
Similarity
Belongs to the LEA type SMP family.
