Encodes an isoprenyl cysteine methylatransferase (ICMT) involved in the post-translational processing of proteins that have a C-terminal CaaX box. This protein appears to have higher catalytic activity and a higher transcript expression level than the other ICMT present in Arabidopsis (At5g23320). Analysis of ICMT RNAi lines suggests that this protein is involved in flower and stem development.
