VIT2

Gene
VIT2
Protein
Vacuolar iron transporter 2
Organism
Oryza sativa subsp. japonica
Length
246 amino acids
Function
Vacuolar iron transporter involved in the transfer of iron ions from the cytosol to the vacuole for intracellular iron storage (PubMed:22731699). Vacuolar iron storage is required for seed embryo and seedling development (Probable). May be involved in the regulation of iron translocation between flag leaves and seeds (Probable). Can transport zinc ions from the cytosol to the vacuole (PubMed:22731699).
Similarity
Belongs to the CCC1 family.
