FAD2 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_013549, symbol DcFAD2 on carrot chromosome 4, encodes a fatty acid desaturase with oleate Δ12-hydroxylase, omega-6 fatty acid desaturase and monooxygenase activities. The product localises to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and is associated with unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis, fatty acid and lipid metabolism, and several glycolipid desaturation reactions including conversions of 18:1-16:1-MGDG to 18:2-16:1-MGDG and 18:1-16:0-DGDG to 18:2-16:0-DGDG. Related genes in other species link the family to delta-12 desaturase and hydroxylase functions.
