ADH — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD6BV1G217540 (symbol TtADH) on durum wheat chromosome 6B encodes an alcohol dehydrogenase class-3 protein, also described as S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase, with NAD(P)+-dependent activity and zinc binding. It is annotated to methanal catabolism and nitric oxide storage, and localises to the cytosol. The gene is associated with nitrogen content. Studies of related genes in other species link the family broadly to oxidoreductase activity, but the specific functional roles of TtADH in durum wheat remain to be fully established.
