NCBI Protein Information
Nucleotide-diphospho-sugar transferases superfamily protein
NCBI Summary
The IRX14 gene encodes a putative family 43 glycosyl transferase that contributes to xylan biosynthesis. It was identified based on its gene expression co-variance with the IRX3 gene involved in secondary cell wall synthesis. A biochemical assay using the irx14 mutant indicates that IRX14 might function in xylose chain elongation.
