Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: BjCET1
• Gene Name: cation-efflux transporter 1
• Genome:
• Species: Brassica juncea

Functional Descriptions:

• BjCET1 contains 382 amino acid residues, including a signature motif of the cation diffusion facilitator protein family, six classic trans-membrane-spanning structures and a cation-efflux domain.
• Green fluorescence detection in transgenic tobacco leaves revealed that BjCET1 is a plasma membrane-localized protein.
• The heterologous expression of BjCET1 in a yeast mutant increased the heavy-metal tolerance and decreased the cadmium or zinc accumulations in yeast cells, suggesting that BjCET1 is a metal ion transporter.
• The constitutive expression of BjCET1 rescued the heavy-metal tolerance capability of transgenic tobacco plants.
