UniProtKB accession:  Q8S8I4

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Controls stomatal patterning. Regulates asymmetric cell division during guard cell differentiation. Mediates stomatal development inhibition. Not cleaved by the protease CRSP (AC Q9LNU1) (PubMed:25043023). MEPF1: mobile signal controlling stomatal development in a non-cell-autonomous manner (PubMed:22241782). Uses ERL1 as major receptor (PubMed:22241782). May act by competing with somatogen (AC Q9SV72) for the same receptor, TMM (AC Q9SSD1) (PubMed:22027592).
