NCBI Protein Information
Glutamyl-tRNA reductase family protein
NCBI Summary
Encodes glutamyl-tRNA reductase. Involved in heme biosynthesis in non-photosynthetic tissues and induced by oxidative stress in photosynthetic tissues to supply heme for defensive hemoproteins
UniProt Synonym Gene Names
GluTR
UniProt Protein Name
Glutamyl-tRNA reductase 2, chloroplastic
UniProt Primary Accession #
P49294
UniProt Secondary Accession #
O04950; Q0WQP1; Q4V3B7
UniProt Related Accession #
P49294
UniProt Comments
Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of glutamyl-tRNA(Glu) to glutamate 1-semialdehyde (GSA). Probably involved in wound-induced supply of heme to defensive hemoproteins outside plastids.
