FAD3-1 — Glycine max
Summary
GLYMA_18G062000V4, also known as GmFAD3-1 or FAD3-1, encodes a fatty acid desaturase with omega-3 fatty acid desaturase activity, specifically an acyl-lipid omega-3 desaturase (cytochrome B5) and a linolenate delta15 desaturase. This soybean gene on chromosome 18 is associated with seed development, lipid metabolism, unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, lipid oxidation, and saponin anabolism. It has been connected to linolenic acid content, protein content, and seed size. The encoded protein localizes to the chloroplast membrane and ER membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to alpha-linolenic acid content, chlorophyll content, seed weight, germination rate, and plant height, as well as palmitic and linoleic acid content.
