Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb366300
• Gene Symbol: ZmAAP6 aaap55
• Gene Name: amino acid/auxin permease55
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmAAP6, a gene expressed mainly in immature seeds, especially in the basal endosperm transfer layer.
• ZmAAP6 functions in the GPC regulation in maize, and is a valuable candidate gene for improving the nutritional quality of maize.
• ZmAAP6 regulates the content and profiles of amino acids in developing seeds.
• We characterized a maize gene encoding the putative amino acid transporter ZmAAP6, a gene expressed mainly in immature seeds, especially in the basal endosperm transfer layer.
• Total protein and zein contents were decreased in ZmAAP6 null mutants and increased in ZmAAP6 overexpression (OE) lines, consistent with their changed in the size of protein bodies.
