ADH — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD5BV1G115600, designated TtADH on durum wheat chromosome 5B, encodes an alcohol dehydrogenase with S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity and aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity, binding zinc. The product is localised to the cytosol and is associated with methanal catabolism and nitric oxide storage. This gene has been connected to nitrogen content. Related genes in other species link the family to S-nitrosoglutathione reductase activity and the regulation of nitric oxide signalling, while related genes in other species connect the family to anaerobic fermentation and stress responses.
