Ankyrin repeat family protein with DHHC zinc finger domain
Curator Summary
Encodes a protein containing ankyrin and DHHC-CRD domain. Acts to restrict the size of the swelling that forms at the beginning of root hair cell growth, possibly by a mechanism that requires RHD1. Mutant displays defects in both root hair and pollen tube growth.
