General information

Name of the gene or DNA sequence

Granule-bound starch synthase gene

Abbreviation

CS-gbss

Category of DNA sequence

Protein coding sequence

Is the gene / DNA sequence is a synthetic molecule?

Donor organism

Record #12106

Solanum tuberosum - Potato, SOLTU

Characteristics of the protein coding sequence

Name of the protein expressed by the coding sequence

Granule-bound starch synthase

Biological function

The granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of amylose in the amyloplasts of potato tubers. Inhibition of GBSS leads to the accumulation of amylopectin in the starch fraction.

Related trait(s) or use(s) in biotechnology

altered carbohydrate composition: increased amylopectin content
