FAD2 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_002026, the carrot gene DcFAD2 on chromosome 1, encodes a fatty acid desaturase with omega-6 fatty acid desaturase activity, oleate D12-hydroxylase activity, and monooxygenase activity. It is associated with unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and lipid metabolism, and localises to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. The gene product is associated with glycolipid desaturation reactions, including conversions of MGDG and DGDG species. Related genes in other species link the family to delta(12) desaturase and hydroxylase functions.
