FAD2 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_013552, symbol FAD2 (DcFAD2), on carrot chromosome 4 encodes a fatty acid desaturase domain-containing protein with oleate D12-hydroxylase, omega-6 fatty acid desaturase, and monooxygenase activities. The product is associated with unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, fatty acid and lipid metabolism, and glycolipid desaturation, and is localized to the ER membrane. The gene is linked to several lipid desaturation reactions, including conversions of MGDG and DGDG species. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to additional fatty acid modification activities, though these associations are not yet established in carrot.
