FAD2 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_013548, designated DcFAD2 on carrot chromosome 4, encodes a fatty acid desaturase domain-containing protein with oleate Δ12-hydroxylase, omega-6 fatty acid desaturase, and acyl-CoA (9+3)-desaturase activities, as well as monooxygenase and redox functions. The product localises to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and is associated with unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, fatty acid and lipid metabolism, and glycolipid desaturation, including specific reactions such as 18:1-16:1-MGDG to 18:2-16:1-MGDG. Studies of related genes in other species, including FAD2, FAH12, and FADX, link the family to delta(12) desaturase and hydroxylase activities.
