Comments
Comment typeDescription
Alternative ProductsEvent=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=2; Name=1; Synonyms=PKT2; IsoId=Q570C8-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; Synonyms=PKT1; IsoId=Q570C8-2; Sequence=VSP_015460;
Catalytic ActivityAcyl-CoA + acetyl-CoA = CoA + 3-oxoacyl-CoA.
Developmental StageSlightly induced in leaves during senescence. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11891244}.
FunctionProbably involved in long chain fatty-acid beta- oxidation prior to gluconeogenesis during germination and subsequent seedling growth. Involved in systemic jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis after wounding and may be during senescence. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11696182, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15141068}.
InductionInduced by jasmonic acid (JA) and systemically by wounding. Slightly induced by dehydration. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15141068}.
PathwayLipid metabolism; fatty acid metabolism.
SimilarityBelongs to the thiolase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationPeroxisome {ECO:0000305}.
SubunitHomodimer. {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in seedlings and wounded leaves. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11696182, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15141068}.
