| Function |
Catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase terminal complexes ('rosettes'), required for beta-1,4-glucan microfibril crystallization, a major mechanism of the cell wall formation. Involved in the primary cell wall formation, especially in roots. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11340179, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12068120, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12119374, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12713541, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17878302, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17878303}.

| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000305}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in young plants, flowers and roots, and to a lower extent in leaves and stems. Localized in all cells except meristematic cells. Accumulates particularly in root caps, root hairs, epidermal layer, midveins of leaves and anthers. Not present in old tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11517344, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12068120, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12119374, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12481071}.
