NCBI Protein Information
galacturonosyltransferase 12
NCBI Summary
Encodes a protein with putative galacturonosyltransferase activity. Mutants defective in this gene displayed a notable reduction in xylose (>50%) in the cell walls from stems and roots and a reduction in cellulose (~25%).

UniProt Comments
Involved in pectin assembly and/or distribution, and in the synthesis of secondary wall glucuronoxylan. Probably involved in the synthesis of the glycosyl sequence at the glucuronoxylan reducing end. May be involved in synthesis of a complex glycan primer for xylan synthesis.
