ADH — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD4BV1G040420 (symbol TtADH) on durum wheat chromosome 4B encodes an alcohol dehydrogenase with S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity, aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity, and zinc binding. It belongs to the ADH-like N-terminal and C-terminal domain families and is localised to the cytosol. The gene is associated with methanal catabolism, nitric oxide storage, and pathways including phenylalanine degradation III and conversion of phenylacetaldehyde to phenylethanol. It has been linked to nitrogen content.
