COMMENTARY 
LITERATURE
evolution
malfunction
enzyme knockdown lines show decreases in the 16:4 and 18:3-9,12,15 acyl groups in lipids, fatty acid profile, overview
metabolism
physiological function
the enzyme is involved in synthesis of the plastid lipid monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii occuring preferentially as a molecular species containing alpha-linolenic acid 18:3-9,12,15 in the sn-1 position and (4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z)-hexadeca-4,7,10,13-tetraenoic acid (16:4) in the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone, fatty acid profile, overview
additional information
evolution
the enzyme belongs to the front-end desaturases
evolution
-
the enzyme belongs to the front-end desaturases, phylogenetic analysis and tree, overview. Introns appear to have evolved independently among Tpdes genes
evolution

metabolism
the enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of docosahexanoic acid
metabolism
-
the enzyme is involved in production of the health beneficial polyunsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid
metabolism
the enzyme is involved in the pathway for very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis existing in the protozoan. The enzymes involved in polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis (i.e. DELTA6, DELTA8, DELTA5 and DELTA4 desaturases) are named front-end desaturases, because they introduce a double bond between a pre-existent olefinic bond and the carboxyl end of the fatty acid molecule. A complete pathway for very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis is functional in Leishmania major using DELTA6, DELTA5 and DELTA4 desaturases

In trypanosomes, only DELTA4-desaturases are present from a complete pathway for very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis, the enzyme is also able to use n-3 and n-6 fatty acid isomers
