DESCRIPTION

Also known as PNC1_SOYBN, PNC1. Peroxisomal adenine nucleotide transporter catalyzing the counterexchange of ATP with AMP. ATP is needed by reactions that generate acyl-CoA for peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation during postgerminative growth. Required for the conversion of seed-reserved triacylglycerols into sucrose that is necessary for growth before the onset of photosynthesis.
