Encodes KAT2, a member of the Shaker family potassium ion (K+) channel. Critical to stomatal opening induced by blue light. Critical to circadian rhythm of stomatal opening. Involved in plant development in response to high light intensity. Under high light intensity, the mutant plant produced less biomass compared to the wild type. The Shaker family K+ ion channels include five groups based on phylogenetic analysis (FEBS Letters (2007) 581: 2357): I (inward rectifying channel): AKT1 (AT2G26650), AKT5 (AT4G32500) and SPIK (also known as AKT6, AT2G25600); II (inward rectifying channel): KAT1 (AT5G46240) and KAT2 (AT4G18290); III (weakly inward rectifying channel): AKT2 (AT4G22200); IV (regulatory subunit involved in inwardly rectifying conductance formation): KAT3 (also known as AtKC1, AT4G32650); V (outward rectifying channel): SKOR (AT3G02850) and GORK (AT5G37500). | 4 | + | View |
