Protein: Transcription factor IND (Basic helix-loop-helix protein 40) (AtbHLH40) (bHLH 40) (Protein INDEHISCENT) (Transcription factor EN 120) (bHLH transcription factor bHLH040) (O81313)
Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress)
Function: Transcription regulator required for seed dispersal. Involved in the differentiation of all three cell types required for fruit dehiscence. Acts as the key regulator in a network including SHP and ALC that controls specification of the valve margin. Works with ALC, SHP, and FUL to allow differentiation of the lignified valve layer, the spring-loaded mechanism of fruit that promotes opening. Regulates the expression of the YJ80 marker.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000305}.
