Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Storage protein of tuber. Involved in protection against oxidative stress (Probable). Has carbonate dehydratase and weak trypsin inhibitor activity detected by measuring the dehydration of sodium bicarbonate and the inhibition of trypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-benzoyl-L-arginine-4-nitro anilide, respectively (PubMed:10552514). Contrarily, no carbonate dehydratase or trypsin inhibitor activity detected by measuring the hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate or the inhibition of bovine trypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester, respectively (PubMed:15047697). Has dehydroascorbate (DHA) reductase and monodehydroascorbate (MDA) reductase activities (Ref.5). Catalyzes the reactions of carbonate dehydratase and DHA reductase independently of zinc and glutathione (GSH). The coupled reaction is capable of recycling a plant antioxidant ascorbate using ubiquitous compounds H(2)O and CO(2) (By similarity). Exhibits antioxidant activity. Able to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and hydroxyl radicals (PubMed:11600050). Exhibits immunomodulatory activity. Activates Toll-like receptor 4 signaling pathways by up-regulating the gene expression of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1 beta and interleukin-6, and chemokines RANTES and MCP-1, in mouse RAW 264.7 macrophages. Stimulates the phagocytosis of E.coli by the LPS-treated mouse macrophages (By similarity).
