| Primary Identifier | IPR044981 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | AGP9/17/18 |
| description | This entry represents a subgroup of plant lysine-rich arabinogalactan proteins, including AGP9/17/18 from Arabidopsis. They are members of the lysine-rich arabinogalactan protein (AGP) subfamily within the hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein (HRGP) superfamily. AGPs are hyperglycosylated proteins implicated in different aspects of plant growth and development. Protein backbones of AGPs are rich in Pro/Hyp (hydroxyproline), Ser, Ala and Thr and are modified by the addition of type II arabinogalactan polysaccharides and arabinose oligosaccharides to Hyp residues []. They are predicted to contain the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor and are localized to the plasma membrane. AtAGP18 is involved in a signal transduction pathway regulating plant growth and development []. |
