Protein
Indole-3-pyruvate monooxygenase YUCCA6
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Involved in auxin biosynthesis via the indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPA) pathway. Also able to convert in vitro phenyl pyruvate (PPA) to phenyl acetic acid (PAA). Required for the formation of floral organs and vascular tissues. Belongs to the set of redundant YUCCA genes probably responsible for auxin biosynthesis in shoots.
Similarity
Belongs to the FMO family.
