FAD4_ARATH | function | Fatty acid desaturase involved in the production of chloroplast-specific phosphatidylglycerol molecular species containing 16:1(3E). Catalyzes the formation of a trans double bond introduced close to the carboxyl group of palmitic acid, which is specifically esterified to the sn-2 glyceryl carbon of phosphatidylglycerol. |
FAD4_ARATH | pathway | Lipid metabolism; fatty acid metabolism. |
FAD4_ARATH | similarity | Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase CarF family. |
