Description This gene encodes for the large subunit of enzyme ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP). The enzyme regulates starch biosynthesis and catalyzes the reaction ATP + alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate = diphosphate + ADP-glucose. The APL3 peptide is localized to the endosperm cell amyloplast. It forms spatiotemporal heterotetramer ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase enzyme complex together with small subunits. The APL3 dimer interacts with APS1 (GR:0101317) dimers to form the heterotetramer enzyme complex in developing endosperm cell amyloplast.
