Function

AB25G_ARATH High affinity abscisic acid (ABA) transporter that mediates the export of ABA, with a preference for (+)-ABA, through the plasma membrane, especially in vascular tissues (e.g. phloem companion cells), and is involved in the intercellular ABA signaling pathway (PubMed:20133881, PubMed:20935463, PubMed:24521878, PubMed:26517905). Together with ABCG31, export ABA from the endosperm to deliver it to the embryo via ABCG30 and ABCG40-mediated import to suppress radicle extension and subsequent embryonic growth (PubMed:26334616).^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}
