pfam07918: CAP160 (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
CAP160 repeat
This region featured in this family is repeated in spinach cold acclimation protein CAP160. CAP160 is induced during periods of drought stress; its precise function is unknown but it has been implicated in the stabilisation of membranes, cytoskeletal elements, and ribosomes. By acting as a compatible solute, it may reduce the toxic effects of cellular solutes that accumulate at high concentration during dehydration; it may also function as an enzyme that produces such a solute. Other members of this family are also induced by water stress, abscisic acid, and/or low temperature, such as desiccation-responsive protein and CDet11-24 protein.
