Record overview

LMPD IDLMP010709
Gene ID829220
SpeciesArabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis)
Gene Nameomega-6 fatty acid desaturase
Gene SymbolFAD6
SynonymsCHLOROPLAST PRECURSOR; F6I18.140; F6I18_140; FAD6; FADC; fatty acid desaturase 6; FATTY ACID DESATURASE C; OMEGA-6 FATTY ACID DESATURASE; SFD4; STEAROYL DESATURASE DEFICIENCY 4
Alternate namesomega-6 fatty acid desaturase
Chromosome4
EC Number1.14.19.-
SummaryChloroplastic enzyme responsible for the synthesis of 16:2 and 18:2 fatty acids from galactolipids, sulpholipids and phosphatidylglycerol. Uses ferredoxin as electron donor. Gene mutation resulted in reduced level of unsaturated fatty acids leading to susceptibility to photoinhibition.
