DAD1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

T459_03559 (DAD1) in pepper (Capsicum annuum) on chromosome 1 encodes a lipoxygenase enzyme with linoleate 9S-lipoxygenase and linoleate 13S-lipoxygenase activities, classified as EC 1.13.11.58. The protein contains lipoxygenase and PLAT/LH2 domains and is localized to the cytoplasm. This gene is associated with lipid oxidation, oxylipin anabolism, terpenoid anabolism, and fatty acid anabolism. It is linked to immune response, defense response, fruit ripening, cell death, and programmed cell death. Additionally, DAD1 is associated with pungency.
