ADH — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_006648 (symbol ADH) on carrot chromosome 2 encodes a protein with S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase activity (NADP+, NAD+, and NAD(P)+ dependent), aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity, and zinc binding, and contains ER, ADH-like_N, ADH-like_C, GroES-like_sf, and NAD(P)-bd_dom_sf domains. It is associated with methanal catabolism, the glyoxylate cycle, fermentation, homologous recombination, gluconeogenesis, lignin anabolism, alkaloid metabolism, nitric oxide storage, cell growth, and seed germination, and localises to the cytosol. The gene is also linked to lignin content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to EC 1.1.1.1 and EC 1.1.1.284 activities.
