LTP2 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD5BV1G244110, also known as LTP2 or TtNSLTP2, encodes a protein on durum wheat chromosome 5B. The product is annotated with lipid binding and lipid transport functions, and is associated with cell wall organization. This gene has been linked to seed and defense associations. Studies of related genes in other species link the LTP2 family to soluble protein content and protein content, though these associations are not yet established in durum wheat itself.
