LOC101490289 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101490289 on chickpea chromosome 4 encodes a protein with adenosine kinase activity, belonging to the PfkB carbohydrate kinase family. This enzyme is associated with adenosine and AMP salvage pathways and purine base metabolism. The gene product localizes to the cytosol, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Related genes in other species connect the family to adenosine kinase function (EC 2.7.1.20). The gene shares sequence similarity with adenosine kinase genes in soybean, common bean, and Medicago, indicating a conserved role in purine salvage across legumes.
