FAD2 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_013553, symbol DcFAD2 on carrot chromosome 4, encodes a fatty acid desaturase family protein with oleate D12-hydroxylase, omega-6 fatty acid desaturase, and monooxygenase activities. The gene is associated with unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and lipid metabolism, and its product localises to the ER membrane. DcFAD2 is linked to glycolipid desaturation and multiple reactions converting monogalactosyldiacylglycerol and digalactosyldiacylglycerol species, including 18:1-16:1-MGDG to 18:2-16:1-MGDG. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to delta-12 desaturase and hydroxylase functions.
