    Organism
    Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype: Columbia)
    Lineage
    Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis
    Also known as
    ATVSP2; T4C12.40; vegetative storage protein 2; VEGETATIVE STORAGE PROTEIN 2
    Summary
    Has acid phosphatase activity dependent on the presence of divalent cations (Mg2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Mn2+) and anti-insect activity. Insects fed with the protein show a retarded development. Induced in response to abscisic acid, jasmonic acid, salt, water deficiency and wounding.
