UniProt Comments
Nitrate transporter involved in the constitutive high-affinity transport system (cHATS) under long-term N starvation conditions (PubMed:15107992, PubMed:25065551). Predominantly expressed in roots of nitrate-deprived plants as a 150 kDa molecular complex with NRT3.1 representing the major contributor to cHATS influx (PubMed:25474587). The principal role of this cHATS is to enable roots previously deprived of nitrate to absorb this ion and initiate induction of nitrate-inducible genes (PubMed:25474587). Not involved in transfer of nitrate from roots to shoots (PubMed:25474587). Contributes to phloem loading of nitrate in shoots during N starvation, but not required for growth and nitrate uptake in young plants (PubMed:25065551). Required for the nitrate uptake-independent plant growth promotion and lateral root response to the rhizospheric Phyllobacterium (PubMed:23398541). Might be involved in the transfer of nitrate from stored pools to cytoplasm (PubMed:15107992).
