FAD2 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_013547, designated DcFAD2 on carrot chromosome 4, encodes a fatty acid desaturase with oleate Δ12-hydroxylase, omega-6 fatty acid desaturase and monooxygenase activities. The product is an oxidoreductase that acts on paired donors with molecular oxygen reduction. DcFAD2 is associated with unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, fatty acid metabolism and lipid metabolism, and localises to the ER membrane. The gene participates in glycolipid desaturation and multiple reactions converting monogalactosyldiacylglycerol and digalactosyldiacylglycerol species. Related genes in other species link the family to the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids in membrane lipids.
