Description : (at4g35920 : 202.0) Encodes an integral plasma membrane protein. Functionally complements the yeast mid1 mutant, a deficiency of Ca2+ influx. Involved in Ca2+ influx and mechanical sensing in roots. An over-expression line showed increased Ca2+ uptake than the wild type plant. The primary root of a knock-out mutant failed to penetrate a harder agar medium from a softer medium.; mid1-complementing activity 1 (MCA1); CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Protein of unknown function Cys-rich (InterPro:IPR006461); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: PLAC8 family protein (TAIR:AT2G17780.1); Has 35333 Blast hits to 34131 proteins in 2444 species: Archae - 798; Bacteria - 22429; Metazoa - 974; Fungi - 991; Plants - 531; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 9610 (source: NCBI BLink). & (reliability: 404.0) & (original description: no original description)
