ANR — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3006G227100, also known as ANR, 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 the CH-OH group of donors with NAD or NADP as acceptor. This sorghum gene on chromosome 6 is associated with flavonoid metabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, detoxification, and NO storage. Related genes in other species link the family to anthocyanidin reductase activity (EC 1.3.1.112) and dihydroflavanol 4-reductase activity (EC 1.1.1.234).
