FAD3E_ARATH | function | Microsomal (ER) omega-3 fatty acid desaturase introduces the third double bond in the biosynthesis of 18:3 fatty acids, important constituents of plant membranes. It is thought to use cytochrome b5 as an electron donor and to act on fatty acids esterified to phosphatidylcholine and, possibly, other phospholipids. |
F4ILQ4_ARATH | pathway | Lipid metabolism. |
FAD3E_ARATH | pathway | Lipid metabolism; polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis. |
F4ILQ4_ARATH FAD3E_ARATH | similarity | Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase type 1 family. |
FAD3E_ARATH | tissue specificity | Abundant in leaves and seedlings. Barely detectable in root tissue. |
