ANR — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3006G226400 (symbol ANR) on sorghum chromosome 6 encodes an NAD-dependent epimerase/dehydratase domain-containing protein with anthocyanidin reductase activity, racemase and epimerase activity, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase activity, flavanone 4-reductase activity, NADP binding, and oxidoreductase activity acting on CH-OH groups with NAD or NADP as acceptor. This gene is associated with flavonoid metabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, detoxification, and nitric oxide storage. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to anthocyanidin reductase and dihydroflavonol 4-reductase activities (EC 1.3.1.112 and 1.1.1.234).
