ANR — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3006G227000 (symbol ANR) on sorghum chromosome 6 encodes an NAD-dependent epimerase/dehydratase domain-containing protein with anthocyanidin reductase, racemase and epimerase, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase, flavanone 4-reductase, and oxidoreductase activities, and binds NADP. The gene is associated with flavonoid metabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, detoxification, and nitric oxide storage. Related genes in other species link the family to anthocyanidin reductase activity (EC 1.3.1.112) and dihydroflavanol 4-reductase activity (EC 1.1.1.219).
