NCBI Protein Information
cell elongation protein / DWARF1 / DIMINUTO (DIM)
NCBI Summary
Involved in the conversion of the early brassinosteroid precursor 24-methylenecholesterol to campesterol. Brassinosteroids affect cellular elongation. Mutants have dwarf phenotype. DWF1 is a Ca2+-dependent calmodulin-binding protein.

UniProt Comments
Plays a critical role in the general process of plant cell elongation. Involved in the synthesis of campesterol, an early precursor of brassinolide. Required for the conversion of 24-methylenecholesterol to campesterol and for the conversion of isofucosterol to sitosterol. Necessary for both the isomerization and reduction of 24-methylenecholesterol. Regulate indirectly phytochrome-mediated light responses through the modulation of brassinosteroid biosynthesis.
