This antibody targets IKU1, a protein that modulates seed size by negatively regulating syncytial endosperm cellularization. It is hypothesized to exert this function through binding and modulating the activity of the WRKY10 transcription factor.
Gene References Into Functions
IKU1 (At2g35230) Function: Studies demonstrate that mutations in the IKU1 gene result in reduced endosperm growth and the production of smaller seeds. PMID: 20545893
