cytochrome P450, family 704, subfamily B, polypeptide 1;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary:
Encodes a cytochrome P450, designated CYP704B1. Expressed in the developing anthers. Essential for pollen exine development. Mutations in CYP704B1 result in impaired pollen walls that lack a normal exine layer and exhibit a characteristic striped surface, termed zebra phenotype. Heterologous expression of CYP704B1 in yeast cells demonstrated that it catalyzes omega-hydroxylation of long-chain fatty acids, implicating these molecules in sporopollenin synthesis.
