G6PDH — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT3G169360 (symbol G6PDH) on garden pea chromosome 3LG5 encodes a glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) and contains NADP-binding and G6P dehydrogenase domains. The gene is associated with response to folic acid, the ascorbate-glutathione cycle, protein oxidation, cellular respiration, fermentation, glucose metabolism, the oxidative branch of the pentose pathway, the electron transport chain, the pentose-phosphate shunt, nitrate assimilation, starch breakdown, the TCA cycle, nitrogen fixation, sucrose metabolism, and seed germination. It is linked to chloroplast stroma and cytosol localisation. Associations with sucrose content, starch content, proline content, germination rate, and root length have been reported. Studies of related genes in other species further connect the family to central carbon and redox metabolism.
