Detoxification protein, DTX35, of 614 aas and 12 TMSs, also called FLOWER FLAVONOID TRANSPORTER (FFT), encodes a MATE family transporter in Arabidopsis thaliana. FFT (AtDTX35) is highly transcribed in floral tissues, the transcript being localized to epidermal guard cells, including those of the anthers, stigma, siliques and nectaries (Thompson et al. 2010). The absence of FFT affects flavonoid levels in the plant. Moreover, root growth, seed development and germination, and pollen development, release and viability are all affected (Thompson et al. 2010). Also functions as a chloride channel, which, together with DTX33, is essential for turgor regulation (Zhang et al. 2017). Involved in floral development (Song et al. 2017). Dietary ilavonoid absorption facilitates the development and utilization of functional foods or dietary supplements (Fu et al. 2024).
