LDAH1 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

StLDAH1 (PGSC0003DMG400007679) on potato chromosome 5 encodes a protein containing an AB hydrolase domain and a Lip-like_C domain. The gene is associated with propanoate metabolism, lipogenesis, oxylipin anabolism, starch breakdown, gluconeogenesis, fermentation, and phenylpropanoid metabolism. It is also linked to hormone metabolism, responses to water and carbohydrate, wound healing, and dedifferentiation. The encoded product has been associated with starch digestibility, starch content, protein content, and phosphate content, as well as organ identity. Localisation evidence links the protein to the adiposome and extracellular space. Studies of related genes in other species suggest the family may have lipase activity, but this has not been established for StLDAH1 itself.
