2.A.18.1.2 Auxin transporter-like protein 3, LAX3, of 470 aas and 11 - 12 TMSs. It is a carrier protein involved in proton-driven auxin influx. It mediates the
formation of auxin gradients from developing leaves (sites of auxin
biosynthesis) to tips by contributing to the loading of auxin in
vascular tissues and facilitating acropetal (base to tip) auxin
transport within inner tissues of the root apex, and basipetal (tip to
base) auxin transport within outer tissues of the root apex. The structures and mechanism of the AUX/LAX transporters involved in auxin import have been reported (Ung et al. 2025).
