Member of a diversely expressed predicted peptide family showing sequence similarity to tobacco Rapid Alkalinization Factor (RALF), and is believed to play an essential role in the physiology of Arabidopsis. Consists of a single exon and is characterized by a conserved C-terminal motif and N-terminal signal peptide. Mediates Ca2+-dependent signaling. Regulates the splicing of flowering genes and exerts an opposite effect on the flowering time compared with FER.
