LOC101507053 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101507053 on chickpea chromosome 3 encodes an S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase with NADP+, NAD+, and NAD(P)+ activities, as well as aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity and zinc binding. The protein belongs to the ADH_3 family and is localized to the cytosol. This gene is associated with methanal catabolism. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to alcohol dehydrogenase and formaldehyde dehydrogenase activities, though these associations are not yet established in chickpea. The gene is also related to ADHIII.
