At3g12360: ITN1 (INCREASED TOLERANCE TO NACL)

Encodes a protein with an ankyrin motif and transmembrane domains that is involved in salt tolerance. Expressed throughout the plant and localized to the plasma membrane. Loss of function mutations show an increased tolerance to salt based on assaying seedling growth in the presence of salt. In the mutants, induction of genes required for production of reactive oxygen species is reduced suggesting that itn1 promotes ROS production.
