LTP2 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD5AV1G257480, also known as LTP2 or TtNSLTP2, encodes a non-specific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP2) on durum wheat chromosome 5A. The product contains a bifunctional inhibitor/plant lipid transfer protein/seed storage helical domain and is annotated for lipid binding and lipid transport. This gene is associated with cell wall organization, seed, and defense. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to soluble protein content and total protein content, though these associations are not yet established in durum wheat.
