FAD2 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_017011, symbol DcFAD2 on carrot chromosome 5, encodes a fatty acid desaturase with oleate D12-hydroxylase, omega-6 fatty acid desaturase, and monooxygenase activities. The product is associated with unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and fatty acid anabolism, and localises to the ER membrane. DcFAD2 participates in glycolipid desaturation reactions, including the conversion of 18:1-16:1-MGDG to 18:2-16:1-MGDG and related steps in fatty acid and lipid metabolism. Related genes in other species link the family to omega-6 desaturation in membrane lipids.
