pfam08137: DVL (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
DVL family
This family consists of the DVL family of proteins. In a gain-of-function genetic screen for genes that influence fruit development in Arabidopsis, DEVIL (DVL) gene was identified. DVL is a small protein and overexpression of the protein results in pleiotropic phenotypes featured by shortened stature, rounder rosette leaves, clustered inflorescences, shortened pedicles, and siliques with pronged tips. DVL family is a novel class of small polypeptides and the overexpression phenotypes suggest that these polypeptides may have a role in plant development.
