Type: | Repeat | Name: | CAP160 |
Description: | This region featured in this family is repeated in spinach cold acclimation protein CAP160 () CAP160 is induced during periods of drought stress; its precise function is unknown but it has been implicated in the stabilisation of membranes, cytoskeletal elements, and ribosomes. By acting as a compatible solute, it may reduce the toxic effects of cellular solutes that accumulate at high concentration []. Other members of this family are also induced by water stress, abscisic acid, and/or low temperature, such as desiccation-responsive protein 29B () and CDet11-24 protein (). | Short Name: | CAP160 |
