FAD2 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_003420 (symbol DcFAD2) on carrot chromosome 1 encodes an uncharacterized protein with a fatty acid desaturase domain. The gene is associated with oleate Δ12-hydroxylase activity, omega-6 fatty acid desaturase activity, monooxygenase activity, and oxidoreductase activity. It is associated with unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and lipid metabolism, and its product localises to the ER membrane. It participates in glycolipid desaturation reactions, including the conversion of 18:1-16:1-MGDG to 18:2-16:1-MGDG and related steps in fatty acid and lipid metabolism. Related genes in other species link the family to delta-12 desaturation (EC 1.14.19.6) and related oxidoreductase activities.
