Nucleotide-diphospho-sugar transferases superfamily protein
Curator Summary
Encodes a member of the GT43 family glycosyltransferases involved in glucuronoxylan biosynthesis: AT2G37090 (IRX9) and AT1G27600 (IRX9-L or I9H, IRX9 homolog); AT4G36890 (IRX14) and AT5G67230 (IRX14-L or I14H, IRX14 homolog). They form two functionally non-redundant groups essential for the normal elongation of glucuronoxylan backbone. I9H functions redundantly with IRX9, I14H is redundant with IRX14. IRX9 or I9H do not complement IRX14, IRX14 or I14H do not complement IRX9.
