Concanavalin A-like lectin protein kinase family protein;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary:
Encodes a legume-type lectin receptor kinase that is structurally distinct from the mammalian extracellular ATP receptors and acts as an extracellular ATP receptor in Arabidopsis. Extracellular ATP acts as a damage-associated molecular pattern in plants, and its signaling through P2K1 is important for mounting an effective defense response against various pathogenic microorganisms. It also plays a role in cell wall-plasma membrane adhesion.
TAIR Short Description:
Concanavalin A-like lectin protein kinase family protein
The lectin receptor kinase encoded by At5g60300 is involved in protein-protein interactions with RGD-containing proteins as potential ligands, and may play a structural and signaling role at the plant cell surfaces.
