Type: | Family | Name: | SWEET sugar transporter, plants |
Description: | This entry represents a subset of the sugar transporter SWEET (also known as MtN3/saliva) from plants. Proteins in this family are polytopic membrane proteins that feature an MtN3/saliva domain, also known as a PQ loop repeat []. They are involved in multiple physiological processes, such as nodule development, senescence, abiotic stress responses, and host-pathogen interaction, in different species []. Some of the proteins perform as sugar transporters, hence the name SWEET []. | Short Name: | SWEET_plant |
