NCBI Protein Information
lon protease 2
NCBI Summary
Encodes a member of the Lon protease-like proteins (Lon1/At5g26860, Lon2/At5g47040, Lon3/At3g05780, Lon4/At3g05790). Lon is a multifunctional ATP-dependent protease which exists in bacteria, archaea and within organelles in eukaryotic cells. Lon proteases are responsible for the degradation of abnormal, damaged and unstable proteins.
