GAPC — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_021612 (symbol GAPC, also known as DcGAPC) on carrot chromosome 6 encodes a glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (NAD⁺) (phosphorylating) with additional annotated activities including fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, phospholipase D, voltage-gated anion channel, and histone acetyltransferase functions. The gene is associated with core metabolic processes such as glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the pentose-phosphate shunt, aerobic respiration, and glucose metabolism, as well as redox signal response, ROS metabolism, and phosphatidic acid metabolism. It is linked to agronomically important traits including grain yield, photosynthetic rate, root thickness, stem senescence, leaf senescence, disease tolerance, and responses to drought, salinity, freezing, UV-B, cadmium, and high and low temperature stress. Localisation evidence connects the product to the plasma membrane, mitochondrial envelope, chloroplast envelope, vacuole, cell wall, and apoplast.
