Function
CEP2 Antibody targets an extracellular signaling peptide that plays a crucial role in regulating plant growth and development. This peptide exhibits the following functions:
• Represses primary root growth rate.
• Negatively regulates leaf number and flowering.
• Modulates leaf morphology.
• Regulates systemic nitrogen (N)-demand signaling.
• Mediates up-regulation of genes involved in N uptake and assimilation pathways.
Protein Families
C-terminally encoded plant signaling peptide (CEP) family
Subcellular Location
[C-terminally encoded peptide 2.1]: Secreted, extracellular space, apoplast.; [C-terminally encoded peptide 2.2]: Secreted, extracellular space, apoplast.
Tissue Specificity
Mostly expressed in roots. Present in cotyledons, shoot apical meristem (SAM), leaves, inflorescence stems and flowers.
