gamma tonoplast intrinsic protein 2 (TIP2). expressed throughout the plant and transcript level is increased upon NaCl or ABA treatments. NaCl stress-sensitive yeast mutant strains exhibit more resistance to salt when expressing this protein.
Computational Description
tonoplast intrinsic protein 2 (TIP2); FUNCTIONS IN: water channel activity; INVOLVED IN: response to salt stress, transport, defense response to bacterium, hydrogen peroxide transmembrane transport, water homeostasis; LOCATED IN: in 6 components; EXPRESSED IN: 25 plant structures; EXPRESSED DURING: 14 growth stages; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Major intrinsic protein, conserved site (InterPro:IPR022357), Aquaporin (InterPro:IPR012269), Major intrinsic protein (InterPro:IPR000425); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: gamma tonoplast intrinsic protein (TAIR:AT2G36830.1); Has 10870 Blast hits to 10853 proteins in 2179 species: Archae - 81; Bacteria - 5139; Metazoa - 1484; Fungi - 429; Plants - 2489; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 1248 (source: NCBI BLink).
