Protein kinase superfamily protein
NCBI Summary
Encodes ABNORMAL LEAF SHAPE 2 (ALE2), a receptor-like protein kinase (RLK) with a cluster of basic amino acid residues followed by a cysteine-containing sequence in the putative extracellular domain. Function together with ACR4 (Arabidopsis homolog of the Crinkly4) and ALE1 in positively regulating protoderm-specific gene expression and for the formation of leafy organs. ale2 mutants have various epidermal defects, including disorganization of epidermis-related tissues, defects in the leaf cuticle and the fusion of organs.
