Function

[DRP1A_ARATH] Microtubule-associated force-producing protein that is targeted to the forming cell plate during cytokinesis. Plays also a major role in plasma membrane maintenance and cell wall integrity with implications in vesicular trafficking, polar cell expansion, vascular formation, and other aspects of plant growth and development. Has a GTPase activity.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}
