Encodes a novel protein of unknown function with homologs in non-seed plants. Sequence analysis predicts membrane spanning domains and a putative protein-protein interaction domain. Semi-dominant mutations display defects in phenylpropanoid accumulation suggesting a role in phenylpropanoid metabolism.
