  • Deficiens-Agamous-Like Proteins

Note

  • note X refs; AGAMOUS PROTEIN, ARABIDOPSIS and DEFICIENS PROTEIN are also available

Scope note

  • A superfamily of proteins that share a highly conserved MADS domain sequence motif. The term MADS refers to the first four members which were MCM1 PROTEIN; AGAMOUS 1 PROTEIN; DEFICIENS PROTEIN; and SERUM RESPONSE FACTOR. Many MADS domain proteins have been found in species from all eukaryotic kingdoms. They play an important role in development, especially in plants where they have an important role in flower development.

History note

  • 2002; for DEFICIENS-AGAMOUS-LIKE PROTEINS use MADS DOMAIN PROTEINS 1995-2001
