ADH — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.5HG0475380 (HvADH) on barley chromosome 5H encodes an alcohol dehydrogenase with S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] and aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activities, binding zinc and localising to the cytosol. The gene is associated with ethanol fermentation, methanal catabolism, pyruvate metabolism, mating, pH reduction, fermentation, protein dephosphorylation, syngamy, regulation of gene expression, seed development, seed germination, cell division, and signal transduction. It has been linked to grain dry weight, grain yield, seed size, protein content, respiration rate, and germination rate. Related genes in other species are linked to regulation of gene expression and signal transduction.
