FAD2 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_011709, symbol FAD2 (DcFAD2), on carrot chromosome 3 encodes a fatty acid desaturase domain-containing protein with oleate Δ12-hydroxylase, omega-6 fatty acid desaturase, and monooxygenase activities. It is associated with unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and lipid metabolism, and localises to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. The gene product 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 the same desaturation pathways. No direct evidence connects DcFAD2 to agronomic traits in carrot.
