Recombinant Arabidopsis thaliana Cellulose synthase A catalytic subunit 1 [UDP-forming] (CESA1), partial; *Form: This item requires custom production and lead time is between 5-9 weeks. We can custom produce according to your specifications.; *Accession#: NP_194967.1; NM_119393.2; O48946; *NCBI Summary: Encodes a cellulose synthase isomer. CESA1 mutants have cellulose defect in the primary cell wall. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that CESA1, along with CESA3 and CESA6 are present in the same plasma membrane complex for cellulose biosynthesis. lasma membrane complex for cellulose biosynthesis. As inferred from the null role of secondary wall-type CesAs, included in a set of five primary wall-type CesAs that may support trichome cell wall thickening.; *Uniprot Summary: Function: Catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase terminal complexes ('rosettes'), required for beta-1,4-glucan microfibril crystallization, a major mechanism of the cell wall formation. Involved in the primary cell wall formation. Required during embryogenesis for cell elongation, orientation of cell expansion and complex cell wall formations, such as interdigitated pattern of epidermal pavement cells, stomatal guard cells and trichomes. Plays a role in lateral roots formation, but seems not necessary for the development of tip-growing cells such as root hairs. The presence of each protein CESA1 and CESA6 is critical for cell expansion after germination.
