Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb389660
• Gene Symbol: bZIP17 cl7173_1d cl7173_1(680)
• Gene Name: bZIP-transcription factor 17
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Two O2-activated genes, bZIP17 and NAKED ENDOSPERM2 (NKD2), encode transcription factors, which can in turn coactivate other O2 network genes with O2.
• bZIP17 can form a heterodimer with O2 to jointly regulate the downstream regulatory genes of O2. Another target gene, NKD2, acts as a coactivator and is involved in regulating gene expression of O2-mediated endosperm cell differentiation.
• bZIP17 encodes a core regulatory factor in starch synthesis by binding to ACTCAT elements in the promoters of starch synthesis genes.
