| Type | Family |
| Description | This family consists of CASP and CASP-like proteins. In vascular plants Casparian strips span the cell wall of adjacent endodermal cells to form a tight junction that blocks extracellular diffusion [ ]. Casparian Strip Membrane Domain Proteins (CASPs) are four-membrane-span proteins that recruit the lignin polymerisation machinery necessary for the deposition of Casparian strips in the endodermis. CASP-like proteins (CASPLs) are found in all major divisions of land plants as well as in green algae. In Arabidopsis, CASPLs show specific expression in a variety of cell types []. |
