Comments
Comment typeDescription
CofactorName=Fe cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:24875; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
DomainThe histidine box domains may contain the active site and/or be involved in metal ion binding. {ECO:0000250}.
FunctionInvolved in delta-9 desaturation of fatty acids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15240892, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9559566}.
InductionUp-regulated by cold. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9559566}.
MiscellaneousSubstrate specificity shifts from delta-9 to delta- 7 desaturation when the protein is retargeted to the chloroplast.
PathwayLipid metabolism; polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis.
SimilarityBelongs to the fatty acid desaturase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationEndoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue SpecificityStrongly expressed in flowers, roots, leaves, seedpods, and inflorescence meristems. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9559566}.
