Comment typeDescription
Developmental StageIn siliques, expression is first detected at stage 7 when the siliques are green-brown. Expression then rises steadily to reach a maximum at maturity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8756608}.
FunctionMay have a structural role to stabilize the lipid body during desiccation of the seed by preventing coalescence of the oil. Probably interacts with both lipid and phospholipid moieties of lipid bodies. May also provide recognition signals for specific lipase anchorage in lipolysis during seedling growth (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
PtmUbiquitinated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19292762}.
SimilarityBelongs to the oleosin family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationLipid droplet {ECO:0000250}. Membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Surface of oil bodies. Oleosins exist at a monolayer lipid/water interface (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
