LOC101488883 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101488883 on chickpea chromosome 5 encodes a protein with S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity and aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity, containing zinc-binding and NAD(P)-binding domains characteristic of the alcohol dehydrogenase family. The gene is associated with methanal catabolism and metabolic burst processes, and its product localises to the cytosol. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to alcohol dehydrogenase activity (EC 1.1.1.1).
