GAPDH — Cicer arietinum

Summary

GAPC, the chickpea glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) gene on chromosome 7, encodes a protein with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (NAD+ and NADP) activity, as well as phospholipase D, histone acetyltransferase, and voltage-gated anion channel activities. It is associated with glycolytic and gluconeogenic processes, the pentose-phosphate shunt, aerobic respiration, and phosphatidic acid metabolism. The gene is linked to redox signaling, retrograde response, ROS metabolism, and responses to cadmium, UV, and sucrose. It has been connected to traits including grain yield, drought and salt tolerance, freezing tolerance, stomatal closure, root morphology, leaf and stem senescence, floral development, photoperiod sensitivity, and disease tolerance. Localization evidence places the product at the plasma membrane, mitochondrial envelope, chloroplast envelope, vacuole, cell wall, and microtubule cytoskeleton.
