Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • The Gl8 gene is required for the normal accumulation of cuticular waxes on maize (Zea mays) seedling leaves.
  • The predicted Gl8 protein exhibits significant sequence similarity to a class of enzymes that catalyze the reduction of a ketone group to a hydroxyl group.
  • The Endoplasmic Reticulum-Associated Maize Gl8 Protein Is a Component of the Acyl-Coenzyme A Elongase Involved in the Production of Cuticular Waxes.
  • Gl8 protein functions as a β-ketoacyl reductase during the elongation of very long-chain fatty acids required for the production of cuticular waxes.
  • In combination, these findings indicate that the Gl8 protein is a component of the acyl-CoA elongase.
