NCBI Protein Information
Plant-specific transcription factor YABBY family protein
NCBI Summary
Putative transcription factor with zinc finger and helix-loop-helix domains, the later similar to HMG boxes. Involved in specifying abaxial cell fate in the carpel. Four putative LFY binding sites (CCANTG) and two potential binding sites for MADS box proteins known as CArG boxes (CC(A/T)6GG) were found in the region spanning 3.8 Kb upstream of the CRC coding region.

UniProt Comments
Transcription factor required for the initiation of nectary development. Also involved in suppressing early radial growth of the gynoecium, in promoting its later elongation and in fusion of its carpels by regulating both cell division and expansion. Establishes the polar differentiation in the carpels by specifying abaxial cell fate in the ovary wall. Regulates both cell division and expansion.
