Gene: Sopen03g012030

General Information

Description Major enzyme responsible for the synthesis of 18:2 fatty acids in the endoplasmic reticulum. Contains His-rich motifs, which contribute to the interaction with the electron donor cytochrome b5. Mutations in this gene suppress the low temperature-induced phenotype of Arabidopsis tocopherol-deficient mutant vte2. | fatty acid desaturase 2 (FAD2) | FUNCTIONS IN: omega-6 fatty acid desaturase activity, delta12-fatty acid dehydrogenase activity | INVOLVED IN: oxidation reduction, lipid metabolic process | LOCATED IN: endoplasmic reticulum | EXPRESSED IN: 24 plant structures | EXPRESSED DURING: 15 growth stages | CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Protein of unknown function DUF3474 , Fatty acid desaturase, type 1 | BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: fatty acid desaturase 3
