ADH — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD4BV1G040400 (TtADH) on durum wheat chromosome 4B encodes an alcohol dehydrogenase with S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity and aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity, binding zinc and belonging to the ADH_Zn_CS, ADH-like, and GroES-like superfamilies. It is associated with methanal catabolism and nitric oxide storage, and localises to the cytosol. The gene is linked to nitrogen content. Related genes in other species, including ADH1, ADH2, and ADH3, are linked by sequence similarity, but these associations are not established for TtADH itself.
