Function Involved in the oxidative degradation of abscisic acid, but not in the isomerization of the produced 8'-hydroxyabscisic acid (8'-OH-ABA) to (-)-phaseic acid (PA). Involved in the control of seed dormancy and germination. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15044947, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16543410}.
Subcellular Location Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
Tissue Specificity Mainly expressed in dry seeds. Lower expression in rosette leaves, flowers, siliques and stems. Not expressed in roots. Expressed in both endosperm and vascular tissues of embryo during the seed development and in cortex and endodermis in germinating embryo. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15044947, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16543410}.
