LTP2 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD5AV1G257490, also known as TtNSLTP2 or LTP2, encodes a non-specific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP2) on durum wheat chromosome 5A. The product belongs to the bifunctional inhibitor/plant lipid transfer protein/seed storage helical domain family and is annotated for lipid binding and lipid transport, as well as cell wall organization. This gene is associated with 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.
