Sec14p-like phosphatidylinositol transfer family protein;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary:
Encodes COW1 (can of worms1), a phosphatidylinositol transfer protein essential for root hair tip growth. The N-terminus of the COW1 protein is 32% identical to an essential phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PITP), the yeast Sec14 protein (sec14p) while the C-terminus is 34.5% identical to a late nodulin of Lotus japonicus, Nlj16. Expression of COW1 complements the growth defect associated with Sec14p dysfunction in yeast. GFP fused to the COW1 protein specifically accumulates at the site of root hair outgrowth.
