FAD2 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_017012, symbol FAD2 (DcFAD2), on carrot chromosome 5 encodes a fatty acid desaturase with oleate D12-hydroxylase, omega-6 fatty acid desaturase, and monooxygenase activities. It is associated with unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, fatty acid and lipid metabolism, and glycolipid desaturation, including reactions converting 18:1-16:1-MGDG to 18:2-16:1-MGDG and related desaturation steps. The product localises to the ER membrane. Related genes in other species connect the family to delta(12) desaturase function.
