High impact information on ALPHA-VPE

Neither alpha-VPE nor beta-VPE is expressed in the siliques [1].
The gene for alpha-VPE had 7 introns, while that of beta-VPE had 8 introns [1].
Southern blot analysis showed that a family of genes for VPEs in Arabidopsis thaliana was composed of three genes, for alpha-VPE, beta-VPE and gamma-VPE, respectively [2].

Biological context of ALPHA-VPE

The gene products were designated alpha-VPE and beta-VPE, and they were 56% identical in terms of amino acid sequence [1].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ALPHA-VPE

Northern blot analysis revealed that alpha-VPE is expressed in rosette leaves, cauline leaves and stems of Arabidopsis, while beta-VPE is predominantly expressed in the flowers and buds [1].
