RALF23

Gene
RALF23
Protein
Rapid alkalinization factor 23
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Length
138 amino acids
Function
Cell signaling peptide that may regulate plant stress, growth, and development. Mediates a rapid alkalinization of extracellular space by mediating a transient increase in the cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentration leading to a calcium-dependent signaling events through a cell surface receptor and a concomitant activation of some intracellular mitogen-activated protein kinases (By similarity). Regulates negatively brassinolide (BL)-mediated signaling pathway (e.g. BL-induced hypocotyl elongation and branching limitation) (PubMed:19473327).
Similarity
Belongs to the plant rapid alkalinization factor (RALF) family.
