ADH — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD5AV1G137630 (TtADH) on durum wheat chromosome 5A encodes an alcohol dehydrogenase with S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity and aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity, binding zinc. The gene is associated with methanal catabolism and nitric oxide storage, and its product localises to the cytosol. It has been connected to nitrogen content. The encoded protein is linked to pathways including phenylalanine degradation III, amino acid catabolism, and the conversion of cytosolic phenylacetaldehyde into phenylethanol. Related genes in other species include ADH1, ADH2, and ADH3.
