Primary Identifier | IPR009966 | Type | Family |
Short Name | Prosystemin/Systemin |
description | This family consists of several plant specific Systemin and Prosystemin proteins.

Systemin activates a lipid-based signal transduction pathway in which linolenic acid is converted to jasmonic acid, a potent activator of defense gene transcription, including proteinase inhibitor []. |
