Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityCTP + phytol = CDP + phytyl phosphate.
Developmental StageHighly expressed early in seed development and in 6-week-old senescent leaves. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16361393}.
FunctionInvolved in the activation and reutilization of phytol from chlorophyll degradation in plant metabolism, including tocopherol biosynthesis. Catalyzes the conversion of phytol to phytol monophosphate (PMP). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16361393}.
PathwayCofactor biosynthesis; tocopherol biosynthesis.
SimilarityBelongs to the polyprenol kinase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationPlastid, chloroplast membrane {ECO:0000305}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
