TRXH — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD2BV1G201690, symbol TRXH, on durum wheat chromosome 2B, encodes a thioredoxin domain-containing protein with oxidoreductase activity acting on a sulfur group of donors with disulfide as acceptor, protein-disulfide reductase activity, and enzyme inhibitor activity. This gene is associated with the downregulation of enzyme activity, plasmodesma-mediated cell-to-cell transport, homeostasis, response to oxidative stress, and response to cold, and its product localizes to the cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the thioredoxin-like family to similar redox regulation and stress responses, though these associations are not yet established for this specific durum wheat gene.
