ID: hor004751
Uniprot ID: Q2V3I3
Protein name: EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTOR-like protein 4
Gene name: EPFL4
Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress)
Family: Plant cysteine rich small secretory peptide family, Epidermal patterning factor subfamily
Source: Plant
Expression: Expressed at the base of the apical meristem at 3 days after germination. Not detected in the hypocotyl. Expressed in developing stems soon after bolting, in inflorescence stems and in young siliques.
Disease: NA

Function: Acts primarily as positive regulator of inflorescence growth. Endodermal expression is sufficient for proper inflorescence architecture. Redundantly involved with EPFL6 in procambial development regulation. Controls stomatal patterning. Mediates stomatal development inhibition. TMM (AC Q9SSD1) functions to dampen or block CLL2 signaling.
