Defensin-like protein CAL1

UniProtKB accession:  Q6K209

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Plant defensin-like protein involved in accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in rice leaves. Mediates Cd efflux from cytosol into extracellular spaces via chelation. This drives Cd secretion from xylem parenchyma cells into the xylem vessels, hence lowering Cd levels in cytosol meanwhile promoting Cd translocation from roots to shoots.
