Gene Details:
- Gene ID:
- Gene Symbol: SlALMT4
- Gene Name: aluminum-activated malate transporter 4
- Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
- Species: Solanum lycopersicum
Functional Descriptions:
- Two Members of the Aluminum-Activated Malate Transporter Family, SlALMT4 and SlALMT5, are Expressed during Fruit Development, and the Overexpression of SlALMT5 Alters Organic Acid Contents in Seeds in Tomato.
- SlALMT4 also transported malate, but the results were less consistent perhaps because it did not localize strongly to the plasma membrane.
- Electrophysiological analysis of SlALMT4 and SlALMT5 in Xenopus oocytes indicated that both the proteins transport malate.
- SlALMT4 localized to the ER and SlALMT5 localized to the ER and other endomembranes.
