NCBI Protein Information
16:0delta9 desaturase 2
NCBI Summary
Encodes a protein homologous to delta 9 acyl-lipid desaturases of cyanobacteria and acyl-CoA desaturases of yeast and mammals. expression up-regulated by cold temperature. It is involved in the synthesis of the 24:1n-9 and 26:1n-9 components of seed lipids, sphingolipids and the membrane phospholipids phosphatidylserine (PS), and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE).
