NCBI Protein Information
glucan synthase-like 10
NCBI Summary
Encodes GSL10, a member of the Glucan Synthase-Like (GSL) family believed to be involved in the synthesis of the cell wall component callose. GSL10 is required for male gametophyte development and plant growth. Has a role in entry of microspores into mitosis. GSL10 mutation leads to perturbation of microspore division symmetry, irregular callose deposition and failure of generative cell engulfment by the vegetative cell cytoplasm. Also refer to GSL8 (At2g36850).

UniProt Comments
Involved in sporophytic and gametophytic development. Required for normal plant development. During pollen formation, required for the entry of microspores into mitosis and microspore symmetric division. May be required for correct temporal and spatial control of callose deposition during pollen mitosis. During plant growth and development, callose is found as a transitory component of the cell plate in dividing cells, is a major component of pollen mother cell walls and pollen tubes, and is found as a structural component of plasmodesmatal canals.
