Function
This antibody targets NPF3.1, a protein potentially involved in nitrite transport out of cells. It does not appear to be regulated by the PII protein, a known regulator of nitrite uptake in plant chloroplasts.
Gene References Into Functions
- Gene expression of NPF3.1 is enhanced under conditions of limited nitrogen nutrition. PMID: 27541496
- AtNPF3.1 acts as a low-affinity transporter for both nitrate and nitrite. Its expression is upregulated in the leaves of plants infected by Erysiphe necator. PMID: 24259683
Protein Families
PTR2/POT transporter (TC 2.A.17) family
Subcellular Location
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in shoots, stems, leaves, flowers and siliques.
