C2 calcium/lipid-binding plant phosphoribosyltransferase family protein
Curator Summary
Encodes a putative transmembrane protein carrying four C(2) domains, suggesting that QKY may function in membrane trafficking in a Ca(2+)-dependent fashion. Mutant analysis shows that this gene is involved in organ development.
