Description : (at2g36850 : 1529.0) Encodes GSL8, a member of the Glucan Synthase-Like (GSL) family believed to be involved in the synthesis of the cell wall component callose. GSL8 is required for male gametophyte development and plant growth. Has a role in entry of microspores into mitosis. Also refer to GSL10 (At3g07160).; glucan synthase-like 8 (GSL8); FUNCTIONS IN: transferase activity, transferring glycosyl groups, 1,3-beta-glucan synthase activity; INVOLVED IN: microsporogenesis, 1,3-beta-glucan biosynthetic process, pollen development, developmental growth; LOCATED IN: 1,3-beta-glucan synthase complex, plasma membrane; EXPRESSED IN: 26 plant structures; EXPRESSED DURING: 13 growth stages; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Glycosyl transferase, family 48 (InterPro:IPR003440); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: glucan synthase-like 10 (TAIR:AT3G07160.1); Has 1219 Blast hits to 893 proteins in 146 species: Archae - 0; Bacteria - 0; Metazoa - 0; Fungi - 675; Plants - 477; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 67 (source: NCBI BLink). & (reliability: 3058.0) & (original description: no original description)
