Accessions AEE76875 BAB01363 CAC41196 CAW43080 CBC08608 Q9LRM7 NM_113327 NP_189064
Function Has a 11,12(11',12') 9-cis epoxycarotenoid cleavage activity. Catalyzes the first step of abscisic-acid biosynthesis from carotenoids. Contributes probably to abscisic acid synthesis for the induction of seed dormancy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11532178, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16412079}.
Subcellular Location Plastid, chloroplast stroma {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12834401}. Note=Partially bound to the thylakoid.
Tissue Specificity Expressed before fertilization in male and female gametophytes, and then immediately after pollination, restricted to seed endosperm. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12834401, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16412079}.
