evolution
tung FADX is grouped with DELTA12 fatty acid desaturases and hydroxylases rather than conjugases, which is consistent with its desaturase activity
physiological function
FADX converts linoleic acid into alpha-eleostearic acid. in the plant seed oil
additional information
incubation of yeast cells expressing FADX with exogenously supplied palmitoleicacid leads to substantial incorporation of thisfatty acid into yeast cells, accounting for approximately79% of total fatty acids. Oleic acid is reduced to only 3% under these growth conditions
