Protein: Phytoene synthase 3, chloroplastic (OsPSY3) (EC 2.5.1.32) (B6UV92)
Organism: Oryza sativa subsp. japonica (Rice)
Function: Catalyzes the conversion of geranylgeranyl diphosphate to phytoene. Mediates the first committed step in carotenoid biosynthesis. May play a role in regulating carotenoid flux in response to abiotic stress in roots. May control flux to carotenoid precursors that are required for abiotic stress-induced abscisic acid (ABA) formation in roots.
