UniProt Comments
Acts as a receptor for PEP defense peptides. Unlike typical immune receptors, senses an endogenous elicitor that potentiates pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-inducible plant responses. Involved in PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI) signaling. Interacts with and phosphorylates the kinase BIK1, a central rate-limiting kinase in PTI signaling (PubMed:23431184).
