UniProt Comments
Female gametophyte-specific component of the signaling pathway required for fertilization. Required for reception of the pollen tube by the female gametophyte (PubMed:19028964, PubMed:26052747, PubMed:27081182). Acts specifically at the synergid cell surface for pollen tube reception (PubMed:26052747, PubMed:27081182). Plays a role in double fertilization and early seed development (PubMed:20163554). Component of the FER-regulated Rho GTPase signaling complex. Acts as a chaperone and coreceptor for FER. Required for localization of FER to the plasma membrane (PubMed:26052747).
