NCBI Protein Information
NagB/RpiA/CoA transferase-like superfamily protein
NCBI Summary
Encodes a protein with 6-phosphoglucunolactonase activity that localizes to the chloroplasts and the peroxisome. However, mutant phenotypes observed in pgl3 mutant plants can be complemented with a chloroplast-targeted version of the protein. PGL3 likely functions in the oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway. pgl3 mutant phenotypes suggest that it is important in pathogen defense and maintenance of cellular redox homeostasis.
